Johnnie Lucille Evans-Wallace, was born on January 5, 1918 to the parentage of 
the late Richard Evans and the late Mamie Williams Evans in Kirvin, Texas. She 
professed her belief in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and was a member of 
Woods Chapel Primitive Baptist Church.

She attended school in Kirvin and left home at an early age to pursue better 
employment opportunities. She worked and lived for many years in Stamford, 
Connecticut, Chicago, Illinois, and White Plains, New York before returning home 
to Texas finally settling in Houston until she retired. Later, she returned to 
Kirvin where she resided until she could no longer live alone. Then she moved to 
Fort Worth, to be close to her son, Johnnie, grandchildren and all the family 
she loved.

Johnnie was an excellent cook and loved to entertain her family and friends. She 
enjoyed life and traveled extensively, meeting no strangers. She had many long-
time friends, far and near, and kept in touch with them as long as she was 
physically able to do so, then with the help of her family. Whenever Johnnie was 
not on the telephone talking to one of her friends you could find her in front 
of the television set watching Westerns and a Major League Baseball game. Her 
favorite team was the New York Yankees.

In addition to her parents, Johnnie was preceded in death by two sisters, Lizzie 
Mae Dobbins and Jessie Bell Evans, and one brother, Henry Estes.

Her last days were spent at Southwest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Fort 
Worth, Texas. It was early on Friday, July 26, 2013, that the Lord called her 
home to rest.
