     It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Evelyn Julander Coates on December 10, 2024. Born in Marysvale on April 5, 1947. Evelyn was known for her unwavering strength and the warm, loving spirit she brought into this world.  

     Evelyn will be lovingly remembered by her husband and eternal companion, Randall, married August 7, 1965, and later solemnized in the Saint George temple on July 5, 1966.

     Evelyn enjoyed the outdoors immensely and spent many summers camping in the mountains with her family. She was a great hunter and loved going to the mountains to get a nice buck. Evelyn shared her love of rock hounding with her grandchildren. She always held a happy, familiar face that made everyone feel loved, and brightened up the day with her smile. Her patience, wholeheartedness, and love for her family will always be remembered. Her memory will live on and inspire strength, resilience, and love in those whose lives she touched.
