1933-2011
Des Moines

Evelyn L. Garrison, 78, passed away Thursday, December 29, 2011, at Bright Kavanagh House after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer in October 2010.

Evelyn was born June 30, 1933, in Centerville, Iowa, to Bernard and Leona Fisher, the youngest of four daughters. She moved to Des Moines as a teenager and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1951, where she had lettered in tennis. Evelyn was a devoted wife and mother and worked several jobs over the years, sometimes two or three at a time while raising her sons. She also ran the Little League Concession stand for several years. Evelyn retired from Wells Fargo and was a past board member of ABWA. She was very self sufficient and generous to a fault. Evelyn was a lifelong Christian, loved to play the piano and cherished her family. She enjoyed watching old westerns and detective shows on television and had an expansive pig collection. Evelyn resided at the same address in Des Moines since 1958, but had always dreamed of living in a new home.

Evelyn is survived by her sister, Verna Musselman; sons, Russell A. (Debra) Garrison and Jack DW “Uncle Jack” Garrison; grandchildren, Michelle, Nichole, Brandi, Russell II, and Aimee; and great-grandchildren, Michael, Britnee, Hunter, Jason and Kenneth. She was preceded in death by her husband Jack Garrison; and sisters, Deloris Wells and Betty Parker.
