Obituary

Evelyn Yott, Age 87 passed away on July 6,2023, at Olathe Medical Center.  She was born on September 7, 1935, in DeRossett, Tennessee along with her twin brother Edwin to Robert Earl Yott Jr and Bertha Mae (Bohannon) Yott.  Edwin passed away 4 days after birth.

Evelyn grew up the youngest of three girls in her family. She was very close to her sisters. After graduating high school, she moved to Detroit to reconnect with her older sisters, Margaret, and Betty.  During her time in Detroit, she worked for several regional banks. She was a bank branch manager for Coamerica Bank when she retired. After retirement, she relocated to Sun City West Arizona with her sister Margaret.  She had recently relocated to Olathe Kansas to be closer to her family after her sister Margaret passed away.

Evelyn had several passions in her life. A few that stood out to her family and friends was her love of sports and food.  Evelyn would cheer on her hometown teams in Detroit, Arizona, and Kansas City. She would tell you she made the best armchair manager, questioning the moves made by every manager and coach.  Wherever she resided, she would make time to watch the local baseball, football, and basketball teams. She was also a fan of golf and would spend many summer weekend days watching the PGA tournaments.

Evelyn was a foodie! She could recall and recite many of her favorite meals over the years. Her family and friends were always amazed at her ability to recollect memories that revolved around family, friends, and food.  The way she would describe her meals incorporating the word "delicious" became her trademark.  Evelyn loved traveling to Las Vegas. It was one of her favorite vacations incorporating her love of food, slot machines, and sports!

Evelyn is survived by her sister Betty (Joseph) Pasco, niece Nancy (Paul) Galbraith, nephew Christopher (Dawn) Pasco, nephew Patrick (Danyeal) Pasco, nephew Jason Pasco, great nephews Ryan Pasco, Wylder Pasco, and great niece Lauren Pasco.

There will be a graveside service at Smith Chapel Cemetery, Sparta Tennessee on Saturday, August 19 2023 at 10:00 am.  She will be laid to rest along with her sister Margaret in a fitting tribute to all the years they spent together here on earth. Ken Wallace will officiate.
