Obituary for Evelyn M. Burrell
Life is meant to be lived. No one knew that better than Evelyn M. Burrell born on February 2, 1966; the oldest child of the late Shirley Burrell and Clarence Oliver, Jr. Evelyn entered into eternal rest on March 23, 2020 in the privacy of her home.
As a youth, Evelyn attended Riley Hill Baptist Church and attended various schools in Wake County; graduating from Broughton High School in 1984.
In 1996, Evelyn worked for Lufthansa Airlines as a Sky Chef providing service to pilots and flight crews from all over the USA and the world. After leaving Lufthansa in 2002, she began working for Wake County Public Schools as a loving influence to students and coworkers alike during her tenure as a bus driver. However; the last 4 years of her life, her greatest joy was spent being a beloved full time grandmother to Nicholas.
She lived a life that was full and vivacious with a love of travel, dancing, fashion, and all things beauty. She soaked up life in such a way that when you were in her presence, you couldn’t help but be better for having known her.
Left to cherish fond and loving memories are her daughter, Krystal Burrell of Wake Forest, NC; grandson, Nicholas Kelly Peguese of Wake Forest, NC; aunt, Flossie Burrell-Johnson (Youles) of Raleigh, NC; close cousins, Sheleta Anderson of Raleigh, NC, Kenneth Hunter of Knightdale, NC, Nikia Bagley of Knightdale, NC; best friend, Sharon Anderson-Morgan, and a host of other relatives and friends.
