Born in Kosciusko, Mississippi, on July 30, 1929, she was the daughter of Earnest L. Blanton and Mary (Pender) Blanton. Evelyn had a kind heart and a wild sense of adventure.

She loved her sons dearly and took great joy in being “Grandma” to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, enjoying any chance she got to babysit them. Evelyn will be deeply missed but always remembered in the hearts of everyone who came to know and love her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Nelson Bonneaux; sons, Paul Bonneaux and wife Suzanne, David Bonneaux and wife Christine, and Gary Bonneaux and wife Allisha; 7 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
