Evelyn Stewart, age 82, known as "Big Sis," of Cincinnati, Ohio, departed this world on January 13, 2021. She was born in Fayetteville, Tennessee, on June 16, 1938, to the late Willie and Alene Bright. She was a student at West End High School, in Fayetteville. In the late 1960s, she became a social worker. During that time, many families were in need of service, and Evelyn was there to help them receive the resources they needed to help their families. She was a caring person, and she helped the elderly in her neighborhood until she couldn't help them anymore.
Evelyn had a great sense of humor, and her family would always call each other up and said, "Guess what Grandma said?" The funniest joke was when Evelyn lived in the senior citizen building and had a neighbor named William. If anything went wrong or was out of place, "it was William's fault." To this day, her grandchildren will say "it's William's fault" when things go wrong. Evelyn cherished the moments when she was able to spend time with loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Everyone was her "favorite." Her memory will live on in our hearts forever.
She cherished her family, and now Evelyn is with the ones who are no longer with us, only in spirit, her sisters, Helen Carpenter, Betty Cunningham and Cherly Burton. Evelyn is survived by: seven children, Mitchell Bright, Vicki Ray, Betty Jean Jones, Christopher Stewart, Norbert Stewart, Alma Hocker and George Willis; 10 grandchildren, Felicia Foster, Tish Ray, Jason Ray, Shaun Jones, Omar Jones, Germaine Stewart, Jessica "Penny" Watson (Lon), Maia Jones, Jeremy Stewart and Ciarra Brown; four brother and sisters, Thomas Bright (Sara), Glyndon Butler (Donald), Lauretta Bright and Gail Horton; a favorite cousin, Charlene Wortham, who she adored; and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.
Visitation will be from 11:00 a.m. until time of service at 12:00 p.m. Friday, January 29, at James Temple Annex Chapel, 1119 Lincoln Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio. Interment will be at Vine Street Hill Cemetery. Arrangements were entrusted to Kinley Funeral Home.
