IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Evelyn Marie
Amos
November 15, 1939 – December 15, 2019
Evelyn Marie Thibodeau Amos, was born on November 15, 1939 to Melvin and Edna Thibodeaux
in Lawtell, Louisiana. In 1948 she moved to Lake Charles, Louisiana where she remained a resident
until her death.
On December 4, 1955 she married the love of her life, Joseph Cyril Amos, Sr. and they began their
family soon afterwards.
She was a longtime member of St. Henry Catholic Church. Evelyn never met a stranger. She knew how
to make people laugh and left a smile on their faces. It was always a joy to sit and talk with her because
her smile would captivate your attention. If you were in her company, she always made you fed
comfortable. She loved family gatherings with her siblings, children and grandchildren. She had a love for
cooking, dancing, enjoyed zydeco, and playing bingo with her husband. As the old saying goes, "she was
always ready for a road trip because she loved traveling".
Evelyn was called to eternal rest on Sunday, December 15, 2019, surrounded by her loving family and
friends.
She was preceded in death by her brothers, Irvin Peter Thibodeaux and Melvin (June) Thibodeaux, Jr;
sisters, Geraldine Fobbs and Bonnie Rose; and brothers-in-law, Elton Fobbs, Lawrence Bellard, and
Kenneth Manud; daughters-in-law, Ella Amos and Martha Victorian Amos.
