Evelyn Doris Clark Moore was born in West Monroe, Louisiana on November 24, 1953. Evelyn spent much of her time in Arcadia, Louisiana visiting and caring for loved ones. She loved painting, spending time in the outdoors, and even more, she loved plants and animals. Evelyn had a green thumb for not only the plants she grew but for the people in her life. Evelyn was known for the love she showed to others and the sacrifices she made to help those she loved. She strived to teach others to embrace life and live life to each person’s full potential. Because of the love she poured out, Evelyn was surrounded by an army of independent, loving, and strong people who supported and cared for her.
