Sue Evans-Gilbert, loving mother, grandmother

Sue Evans-Gilbert passed away peacefully Friday, June 10, 2022, at Hospice of the Chesapeake in Pasadena, Md., after suffering a stroke.

Sue was born Feb. 23, 1927, in Morven, N.C. She was predeceased by her parents, Luther and Mary Morris; her husband, Harry Evans; and her second husband, Roger Gilbert; her son, Rex Evans; her sisters, Nan Jacobsen and Juanita Moody; her brothers, Ben Morris and Sonny Morris; and son-in-law Thomas Dunham. 

She is survived by her daughter, Karen Dunham; daughter-in-law, Lynn Evans; grandson, Jason Evans; great-grandson, Ethan Evans; sisters, Adgie James and Dare Marsh; and brother, Bo Morris.  Her Gilbert family includes children, Beth and Barry Gilbert, Denice and Gary Conner, Bill and Linda Gilbert, Maryann and Tom Hutton; grandchildren Katie and Scott Bujac, Kellie and David Swears, Kasey and Jeff Forney, Sandra Smith and Stephen Conner, Sara and Chris Leonard and Kevin, and Meghan Gilbert, Sheila Giaccone and Sherri Gurnon; and 21 Gilbert great-grandchildren.

Sue and her husband Harry Evans lived in Arlington and then Fairfax, Va., and Langley Park, Md., eventually settling in Annapolis, Md.  When Sue married Roger, they moved to Millsboro.

Sue began her career during World War II at Arlington Hall, a precursor to the National Security Agency, and she later worked for the National Housing Authority.  Next, she became a resident manager at several apartment developments, and she finished her working career at the University of Maryland Home Extension Service.

Even though her family and friends are blessed that Sue lived to the age of 95, her laughter and love will be sorely missed.  For the last several months she had been living at Queenstown Landing Assisted Living in Queenstown, Md.  She was very happy there, making lots of new friends (residents and staff) and participating in many activities. 

A funeral service will be held at noon, Thursday, June 16, at Watson Funeral Home, 211 S. Washington St., Millsboro, where friends may call from 11 a.m. to noon for viewing and visitation.  Pastor Ed Kuhling will conduct the service.  Interment will be private at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery.
