Evelyn Yvonne Dotson, affectionally known as “Evie”, was born March 29, 1956 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the late Warren Moon and Verbertine Jenkins. She departed this life and entered God’s Kingdom on Wednesday, September 4, 2019.
Evelyn, graduated from Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1974. After graduating from high school, she attended Clarion University of Pennsylvania and was actively engaged on the Women’s Basketball team.
Evelyn attended New Bethel Christian Church after recently relocating to Raleigh, North Carolina in February of 2019, until the Lord called her home. Evelyn was always a family-oriented person exemplifying godly attitudes.
Evelyn enjoyed many things in this life. Some of her favorite things to do were laughing, eating (preferably sweets), playing cards, watching sports, and spending time with her grandchildren. She didn’t like eating vegetables, exercising, or working a 9 to 5 job.
Evelyn enjoyed attending church and especially enjoyed the choir and shaking her tambourine. Evelyn’s favorite bible verse was Psalm 23, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
