Evelyn Josephine Pyatt, 85, of Rolla, Missouri, passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by family, on March 31, 2026. She was deeply loved and will be remembered for her kindness, strength, and the steady presence she brought into the lives of those around her.
Evelyn was born on December 21, 1940, in West Plains, Missouri, the daughter of Cecil and Myrtle Asberry. In 1959, she married the love of her life, Lloyd Pyatt, and together they built a life centered around family, love, and caring for others.
She was the heart of her family and someone many relied on through every season of life. Evelyn had a natural way of making people feel welcome and cared for, whether they had known her for years or were meeting her for the first time.
Throughout her life, she was a loving housewife who dedicated herself to her family and to helping others whenever she could. She took pride in creating a warm and welcoming home and found joy in cooking, sharing a good cup of coffee with family and friends, and spending time with the people who meant the most to her.
She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Lloyd Pyatt, of Rolla; her children, Johnnie Pyatt of Rolla, Lorea Hall (William) of Florida, and Anita Enlow (Kenneth) of Rolla; her brother, Eddie Asberry, of Rolla; and her sister, Joyce Regula, of Oregon.
Evelyn is also survived by her grandchildren, Josey, Heather, Josh, Dylan, Nick, Loren, Jamie, Cody, and Piper, along with several great-grandchildren who brought her so much happiness.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Wayne Asberry, and her grandson, Heath Enlow.
A memorial service will be planned at a later date, allowing family and friends time to come together to honor her life and share memories.
