Evelyn F. Nelson, age 92, a resident of Belmont Village in Carol Stream, IL, passed away on  Saturday, December 7, 2024.  She was born November 6, 1932 in Sterling , IL to Orvil & Dorothy Deets.

Evelyn was a wonderful wife, devoted friend to many, an endearing sister, loving and true grandmother & great-grandmother, but most of all the best mother 4 girls could ever have. She had a smile on her face whenever you saw her, and a personality that lit up the room. Evelyn had no enemies, just friends, everyone loved her. Along with raising her family, she enjoyed square dancing with her husband Richard, crafting, crocheting, cake decorating, bowling, & having the whole family over for the occasional backyard BBQ whenever she got the chance. Evelyn loved life and everyone in it. She was the shining star in all our lives and will be missed dearly.
