Mark, Tammy, Emma, and Greta, We send our deepest
sympathy now at the time of your Mothers passing. Take comfort in our Lord. Encouraging others and writing seemed to
be important to Evelyn, so we leave you with Philippians 4:4-9. Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding,
will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever
is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy
of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of
peace will be with you.

Dear Mark and Tammy,
We are deeply saddened to learn of your mother's death
yesterday, Mark. Exactly one year ago on that same day, I lost my mother. Though we know intellectually that this day will
come, it is nevertheless a difficult and emotional time in our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
in this time of grief and remembering.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I don't know
that I ever met Evelyn's children, but I remember both her & her mother Alma very well. I was just a child when
my mother (Rhonda Wagner) worked as a hairdresser at the home. It was always a great joy for me to visit with everyone
and Mrs. Fisk and her daughter were among my favorites. I will always have many good memories of sharing stories with
them. My mother and I both have your family in our prayers.

Mark, Jeff and Carolyn Mrs. P is finally with her
savior. What an impact she had on me. She wrote a poem about my wife and I when we were dating, it is framed and
I carry a copy with me always. I wish I could be there. Evelyn and Wayne were my first admits to a retirement
community back in the fall of 1985. Please know she was a very special lady. Love to all of the family.

Aunt Evelyn was one of the most positive people I knew
and she had a way of being able to enjoy and laugh about the everyday things. She also was wonderful at encouraging and guiding
others through her words and by her example and I will miss her very much...

Best wishes, Phil

Our condolences to Mark, Jeff and Evelyn's many loved
ones. Whether it was sharing a poem, warmly hostessing the Chapel Pointe dining room or helping a new resident adjust
to retirement community life, Evelyn demonstrated Christ's
love. Content to faithfully do the little things, her life made a big impact on those who were recipients of her thoughtfulness.
Gratefully, we were among them.

Families Of Evelyn Putnam,
I was the first person to clean Wayne and your Mother's
room when they moved into Chapel Pointe. She was like a Mother to me. Don't think there was a person who never liked her.
She wrote poems for me, one of them I framed. We had kept in touch when I moved to another state. Glad I got to see her
one more time when I came back for a visit. You have my deepest sympathy and my prayers are with you all.

Evelyn Putnam was a dear sister in the Lord. She
was a very supportive individual during my years as administrator of the Alliance Home/Chapel Pointe. I thank the Lord
for her ministry and desire to work (during her retirement at the Alliance Home). She lived a full life and she will
be missed.
