Evelyn Conlon, 84, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 20, 2025.
She was born in 1941, in Detroit, Michigan, to the late Joseph and Helen Carlin. Evelyn graduated from Saint Alphonsus High School in 1959. In 1974, she moved to Delaware with her loving husband, Dan, and their three small children. Evelyn devoted her life to raising and caring for her family and has been a devoted parishioner of Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish for 51 years.
Evelyn was predeceased by her husband of 54 years, Daniel, her brother Donald, her sister Carol, sisters-in-law Diana Carlin, Frances Conlon, and Ellen Casey, and brothers-in-law David Casey, Jim Phil, Robert Godair, Thomas Conlon, and Art Rahn.

Evelyn is also survived by many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Evelyn know the depth of her love for her faith and family. She had a quick wit, a joyful spirit, and a gift for making everyone around her laugh. Her fondest memories were spent traveling to Michigan to be with family and cherishing every moment spent with those she loved most.
