My condolences to her husband and family. I worked with Evil lyn as I called her from 1989 to 2006 I remember her bringing me inmates from PACU always smiling and joking. She was a very dedicated nurse. 😇
Evelyn was responsible for me acclimating to the SMH operating room. She was thorough and resourceful. She was a dedicated RN and a constant advocate for me. Dana has done an incredible job over the recent years caring for her. She is well now.
