Evelyn Cornelius

Evelyn Cornelius was born October 16, 1935 in Beulah, Mississippi to Earlene Lambouth and George Miller. At an early age Evelyn relocated to Cleveland, Ohio in the care of her father and Mother Willa Van Miller . Evelyn spent most of her life in Cleveland attending school and confessing hope in Christ at a early age, while growing to become a devoted and loving mother and wife.

Evelyn was a teacher in early childhood development. She loved both teaching and working with children. When not helping young children with education, Evelyn enjoyed spending time with her great-grandchildren, who they referred to her as “MawMaw”, meeting new people, and sharing her love and wise words with others. Evelyn was always lending a helping hand and went into any situation with open arms. She enjoyed arts and crafts, making almost anything you think of with her two hands while adding bright colors and her own twist to everything.

Evelyn was preceded in death by husband Louis Cornelius, her parents Earlene, George, and Willa Van Miller. She was also preceded by siblings Ruthie Mae, Georgia Mae, her daughters - Heylina and Jewell, and Granddaughter, Chyna Doll. She is now reunited, and their love continues in eternity.

Her memory is treasured by her children, Arthur(Barbra), Willa, Joe(Marcetta), Linda (Dale), Leon (Mary) and a host of nieces, nephews , grand and great grandchildren.

Her light will continue to shine in the hearts of those who were blessed to know her.
