Livingston and grandchildren Robert Cucchi Jr. (Vanessa), Devon Moseley (Joey Fandel), Kevin Moseley, Patrick M. Livingston, Timothy J. Livingston, Colleen Livingston, and Casey D. Livingston. Evelyn faced her fair share of adversity throughout life. In those times, she relied on her Catholic faith, placing her trust in God to see her through.

She possessed a quick wit along with an Irish charm and dazzled everyone. She will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved her.
