She loved Tom with all her heart and loved taking care of him. She worked as a hairdresser for many years before going into the school system as a paraprofessional, which is the profession she retired from.  Evelyn was catholic and took her faith very seriously. She went to church most if not every Sunday, even as her illness progressed and when she couldn’t go to church, church came to her. She said her rosary religiously.  She was a true Italian and she loved to cook for her family and friends. She was an entertainer and hosted every holiday she could for her family, extended family, and friends. She adored her two grandchildren Dominick and Gabriella Diomede. She doted on them and loved them immensely.   Gabby preceded her in death at the age of 22. She was heartbroken, but continued to have her faith, family, and friends to support her. She loved her only son Mark and her daughter-in-law Dawn, and they traveled together and made so many great memories. She loved to travel and explore the world with her family and friends. She went to Costa Rica, Alaska, Gatlinburg, Charleston, and many other cruises. Evelyn was a truly caring and forgiving woman and always tried to put her best foot forward. She was loved and will be missed by anyone that had the privilege to meet her and be a part of her life.
