Evelyn H Kukuk

Evelyn Hattie Kukuk, age 96, died at Bethel Lutheran Nursing Center, Williston, ND on November 28, 2025. Graveside services will be held at a later date.

Evelyn was born May 10, 1929, at the family farm, along with her twin brother, Edward, to Arthur and Minnie (Speck) Kukuk. She was confirmed into the faith in 1943 at Peace Evangelical and Reformed Church in New Salem, later known as Peace Church, where she remained a member. She attended school at New Salem.

Eveyln devoted a good portion of her life to the care of her mother, Minnie. Evelyn was an excellent seamstress and enjoyed collecting dolls, many of which wore the outfits she created. In her younger years she enjoyed gardening, canning, and baking. One of her greatest joys was reminiscing about her early days on the farm and being reminded of her family. Evelyn was known as a kind and sweet soul.

Evelyn is survived by her nephews William (Denise) Kukuk, New Salem; Allen (Sheila) Kukuk Williston; niece, The Rev. Terry Kukuk (The Rev. Brad Sheppard) Centerville, OH; great-niece Katelyn (Brandon) Sandberg, Williston; great-nephews, Jadon Sheppard and Ian Sheppard, Centerville, OH; and great-great-nephew, Kamden Sandberg, Williston.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, sister, Edna, and twin brother, Edward.

Happy Thanksgiving! On this Thanksgiving, as we gather around the table with gratitude in our hearts, we pause to honor the loved ones who've gone before us. Their laughter still echoes in our stories, their wisdom guides our steps, and their love wraps around us like a warm embrace we can still feel. Though they're not here in body, they're forever etched in our souls; shining lights that remind us to cherish every moment. To Grandma's famous pies, Grandpa's endless jokes, and Auntie's unbreakable spirit: we miss you deeply, but we're so thankful for the gift of having known you.🕊️🍂🍽️. Please feel free to share a memory for your loved one or a picture of you and your loved one with your favorite thanksgiving dish or memory.
