Ionia Sentinel Standard, 4 April 2002

Our precious and courageous mother, Evelyn Elenor Borup, passed away into the 
arms of our Lord and Savior on Tuesday, April 2, 2002.  She left behind to 
cherish her memories four daughters: Sharon (Duane) Telfor of Eaton Rapids, 
Judy (Terry) McPherson of Fenwick, Nikki (Terry) May of Lyons, and Lisa Miller 
of Ionia; 13 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.  

Evelyn was born the daughter of Ernest and Leda (Peterson) Wheeler on August 
23, 1919 in Ionia.  She married Earl Borup on October 30, 1938 in South Bend, 
Ind. and he preceded her in death on Feb. 9. 2000.

Country music was a passion for Evelyn.  She attended Country Music Jamborees 
at every opportunity.  She loved to collect and make dolls, and attend yard 
sales, where she found most of her antiques.

Evelyn was a member of Shiloh Community Church and she attended regularly until 
her health failed her.  She maintained a close relationship with her church and 
her pastor.

Evelyn and her husband owned and operated the original A&W Drive-in in Ionia, 
and operated a concession stand at the Ionia Free Fair.
