She dearly loved her family and delighted in cooking delicious meals for them which included her famous dressing at Thanksgiving. She enjoyed listening and dancing to all types of music, but polkas remained her favorite. Sitting on her screened porch watching birds and butterflies brought her great comfort. She was always ready to dress in her stylish outfits and cruise or take a trip to the beach. Pinochle, Canasta, Chinese Checkers and reading People magazines were favorite pastimes. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 71 years, John Podboreski and her grandson, David Sechrest. Evelyn is survived by her daughters, Linda Gibson of Raleigh, NC, Pat Sechrest and husband, Johnny of Reidsville, NC and Cindy Fox and husband, Jay Kyne also of Raleigh, NC; grandchild, Kelly Stone Revels and husband, Justin of Huntersville, NC;and great grandchildren: Greyson, Zachary, Jacob and Kamryn Revels.
