Evelyn Wieting
Evie, as everyone around here knew her as, was the start of Wieting Funeral Homes, Inc. with her husband Merlin.
Evie was a teacher before she married Merlin. She met Merlin when he came to her classroom as Santa. The rest was history.
Evie was the bookkeeper, answered the phones for both the funeral home and the ambulance service, helped run the furniture store, and had four children with Merlin.
She retired, but you always found her near the funeral home.
Evie passed away and joined her husband Merlin for a Christmas dance in Heaven on December 20, 2014. Evie loved to be with her family and friends, going out for a drive, rummaging, and celebrations.
