“May the memory of your mom give you the same feelings of love you had when she was alive.”
Evelyn, your Mom was a dear friend of my Mom, Lea Ferris for 40 years. They played bridge together, laughed together, were active in OWC, traveled together and were neighbors in Post Oak Forest for many years. Evelyn hosted a beautiful wedding shower for my younger sister Anne back in 1983. She will be missed. And Evelyn came to Moms funeral last March which we all appreciated. Love, Mary (Dink) Ferris
Evelyn was a dear and sweet lady. We at Officers Wives Club will miss her.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Evelyn Anderholm. Such a lovely woman, who loved her family…and loved those friends around her as well. Our mom, Lea Ferris, was one of those close friends. Our family was so touched when she came to our mothers funeral this past March. She will be missed. Prayers to the Anderholm family.
