BERNICE EVELYN DOOLEY

Bernice Evelyn Dooley (1920-2019) A life well-lived

Evelyn was born on June 14, 1920, on the family farm in Uhrichsville, O. and passed away on Friday, August 23, 2019, at New Dawn Retirement Center in Dover, O.  She was the daughter of Delmar L. Bean and Mary V. (Utterback) Bean.  She graduated from Uhrichsville High School in 1938 and continued her education at Canton Actual Business College.

On June 28, 1941, she married John W. Dooley in the front yard of the family farm and celebrated over 40 years of marriage until his death in 1983.

Evelyn was employed for 28 years at the former Twin City Hospital and was a very dedicated and loyal employee.  She truly loved her job and all the “girls” she considered family.  She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Uhrichsville for almost 70 years and volunteered many hours on numerous church committees and served as church Treasurer for over 12 years.  She also enjoyed many years volunteering at the Hospital until her health prevented her from doing so.  She enjoyed sewing, knitting, reading, writing poetry, golf and spending time with friends and family.

Evelyn is survived by her daughter Colette (Charles “Jim”) Shaver and her son Mark (Sharon) Dooley.  She was also very close to a cousin Carol Roth, known to Colette and Mark as their “older sister”.  She is grandmother to Denise (Mark) Smith and their children Emily, Grace and Andrew Smith and Michael (Trisha) Dooley and their children Camdyn and Graeme.  She also is step-grandmother to Tania Shaver and Troy (Lisa) Shaver and their children Angela and Danielle.  She has six step-great-great –grandchildren Makayla, Emily, Blake, Xavier, Payton and Isabel.

Go forth upon your journey from this world.

In the Name of God the Father who created you;
