Evelyn was born to the late Wymon and Ernestine Drakeford on October 5th, 1948 in Bronx NY and raised in Brooklyn NY; Our beloved sister was the third child of seven.
Evelyn graduated from Carnarsie High School in Brooklyn and worked for the New York City Department of Sanitation until she relocated to Austin TX with her loving husband Robert (Rob) Hill. They were united in holy matrimony in 1985. Evelyn later retired from the Brush Country Nursing Home where she was adored by her peers and residents. Evelyn was a beautifully loving person, always considering the feelings of others with a smile on her face.

Evelyn was proceeded in death by her husband, her parents, brother (Wymon “Boo” Drakeford) and her nephew (Michael James).

Evelyn leaves us to cherish her precious memory; she will be remembered fondly and missed deeply by her foster children JoJo & Derrick, her sisters (Shirley James, Helen and husband Nat Parker, Elizabeth and husband Alphonso Wilks, Jackie and husband Augustin, Denise and husband Wendell Armstrong), brother, nieces, nephews, in-laws (Ronald & Jimmy Hill), best friend (Debra Surgeon), uncle (Johnny Drakeford) and so many others.

Evelyn was a beautifully loving person, always considering the feelings of others with a smile on her face.
