Patricia Ann Evans
June 29, 1945 ~ October 29, 2020
Patricia Ann Evans (Meister), age 75, of Glendale, Arizona, passed away Thursday, October 29, 2020 at Madison Health Care.
She was born June 29th, 1945 to Vera (Yurkovich) and Robert Meister in Coral Gables, Florida. Patricia graduated from Willoughby Union High School in 1963. She married Dennis “Denny” Williams, who later died in Vietnam in 1969. She married her second husband, Richard P. Evans, on September 20th, 1975 at Bethel Baptist Church in Willowick, Ohio.
Foster parents for years, Patricia and Richard eventually adopted and raised three siblings in Ohio before moving to Glendale, Arizona for Richard’s job. Patricia was a homemaker and school cafeteria worker who loved to cook, bake, and craft. She loved hosting holidays and birthdays, even making professional birthday cakes and molded chocolates and confections, many of which she took to American Legion Post 112 Auxilliary where she was a member.
Patricia loved her family and friends dearly, and was the most generous, gracious and caring person you could ever meet. She believed in the power of prayer and prayed tirelessly for friends and family members in need. She was a mother, sister, aunt, grandma and best friend. She left a mark in this world and will be sorely missed.

Our families grew up together then drifted apart after we were adults. Recently we started connecting again and we were able to re-visit many memories. We spoke a lot after our Aunt Becky passed away, visited in Goodyear, AZ and even was able to enjoy a Meister BBQ in Ohio. Love you Pat, Rest in peace.

Dear Family of Pat Evans. My heart goes out to your family at the loss of a beautiful woman and dear friend. I was fortunate to work with Ms. Pat (as we referred to her) and cherished our friendship. We shared stories of our families but mostly our children. Conversations on life and it's ups and downs. Pat's kindness, compassion and love touched many and you were blessed to have her in your life. May you walk with the Angels and rest in peace my dear Ms. Pat. Love, Mary Bjerke
I am finding out about this a little late. Pat was the nicest person I knew. Always composed, very caring and attentive of your needs. Saddened to hear of her passing but I know that she is in a much better place today and forever. Thank you for sharing your love, kindness and passion with us all. Your family will miss you but they were blessed to have you while you were here. God bless them all. Greg Arndt
