Mrs. Pearline Evans

Obituary On June 8th, 2021, Pearline Evans passed away peacefully at the Village of Carrol Park, at the age of 91, after a long illness. Pearline Evans was born to Bertha Smith on July 21st, 1929; Keystville Missouri. She was the first child of eight children. She was raised under the loving care of Ad & Nellie Smith and Arthur & Bertha Glasgow. She attended school at Dolton Vocational High School where she graduated in 1947. On August 21st, 1948, she married the love of her life, Robert Evans, and they built a loving family with their two daughters & two sons: Beverly Ann, Paulette Virginia, Robert Lee (Jr) and Vincent Cornell. In 1953 Robert moved his family from Brunswick, Missouri to Kansas City, Kansas where they resided until 1959, whereas the family moved to Kansas City, Missouri. When Pearline’s children were young, the phrase “stay-at-home-mom” did not exist. It was usual for women to stay home with the children while their husbands worked. But even by the standards of the era, Pearline was an exceptional wife and mother. She cared deeply for her family and her church family. She did this not out of obligation, but because of who she was. She was always the first to offer to help anyone who crossed her path. Pearline loved cooking, quilting, working in the church serving on the Mother Board, Willing Workers, Usher Board and Kitchen Committee. She was affectionately known by many of the young people as “Granny” or “Aunt Pearline” by the older adults of the church. Pearline was preceded in death by the love of her life, Robert; her son Robert Junior; her daughter Paulette; grandparents Ad & Nellie Smith; Parents Arthur & Bertha Glasgow; brothers Arthur Junior; Willard and Larry. She leaves to celebrate her life and carry on her legacy, daughter Beverly (Michael)McDaniel; son Vincent (Sharon) Evans; brother Waymond (Pat) Glasgow and sisters Dimple (Griff) Baylis; Nellie (Ricco) Dean; thirteen grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, surrogate children and friends. Funeral service will be held Friday, June 18, 2021, 11:00am at Truevine Missionary Baptist Church. Interment Tuesday, June 22, at 1:30 pm Leavenworth National Cemetery, LVNKS.
