Evonne was born Sept 11, 1926 in Wanette, OK to the late D.G. & Hester (McCormick) McKinley. She died Thursday, Apr 28, 2016 at her home west of Davis. She was 89 years 7 months and 17 days old.
Evonne was a 1945 graduate of Asher High School. For a brief time following graduation, she made her home in California where she worked at a dime store. It was on the day she was moving back to Oklahoma that she met the love of her life, Jerry Middleton Myers. She had stopped at a store in the Joy area when Jerry happened to drive by. Once he saw Evonne, it was over, he was in love. In a letter he gave to her, Jerry wrote, “I fell for you like a steer that had been hit between the eyes with a big ol’ rock.” Jerry & Evonne were married on Oct 27, 1947 in Gainesville, TX. They made their home west of Davis where they raised their three children.
Evonne was a very classy lady. She enjoyed traveling with her sisters, gardening, tending to her flowers and working crossword puzzles. Evonne was an avid collector of arrowheads. She spent many hours searching through freshly plowed land, hoping to find just one more.
