Evelyn Parker was born Dec. 28, 1930 in East Palo Alto to Archie and Loraine Dellamaggiore. She met her husband Ruben Parker on a blind date. They had a wonderful marriage of 64 years, until he passed March 2014.

She is survived by her daughter Cindy, who is loyal and trustworthy and who helped her through problems big and small. "I could never had done it without you" Evelyn Said. "Be happy and have fun. Thank you for being in my life."

Her son John, who was "tall and handsome and moved like the wind," passed away at age 31.

Over her lifetime many people have come to mean so much to her that she wanted show       appreciation to: those who made her life so pleasant and wonderful: her brothers Gilbert and Jim, Brother-in-law Rudy and sister-in-law Arlene Escobedo and sister Elaine Linski: sister-in-law Nancy Gallardo and brother-in-law, and her nieces and nephews.

As well as dear friends, Johann and Phil, Yolanda, Renata, and my caring neighbors Dave and Judy.

She was grateful for the love of her wonderful cousins: Dellamaggiore's, Ciardella's, Citti's, Tognetti's, Schoennaurer's and "Sweet Nadine".

The family will hold a private burial.
