Evelyn Marie DOVICO was born Aug. 13, 1926, in Utica, Iowa, to Manly and Hazel SHAMPNOI PRATT. She grew up and attended school in Batavia, graduating from Batavia High School. Not long after graduation, Evelyn married the love of her life, Sam DOVICO. The two were married in Fairfield, Iowa, on Jan. 13, 1946. Together they became the proud parents of four boys: Larry, Jerry, Gary and Terry. Evelyn took care of the home and children while Sam was gone serving his country, and she continued to do so upon his return. She worked outside the home at several different jobs including a switchboard operator at the Batavia Telephone Office and a waitress at several local restaurants. Evelyn also served on the Election Board and helped manage the community building for many years. She was a wonderful cook who was known for her angel food cake on birthdays, pumpkin pie and homemade noodles. She was a lifelong member of the Batavia Community and cared deeply for her town. Evelyn was a loving mother and grandmother who will be deeply missed by her family, her community and her many friends.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Sam DOVICO; as well as four siblings, Richard, Porter, Bert and Frieda.

Left to share her story are her children, Larry (Judy) DOVICO of Batavia, Jerry (Shannon EAKINS) DOVICO of Batavia, Gary (Lois) DOVICO of Batavia and Terry (Yvonne VANDELLO) DOVICO of Ottumwa; one sister, Shirley FRINK of Fremont, Neb.; 11 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren, as well as many extended family and friends.
