March 1942 – December 2009

Evelyn was born in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, CA. She moved to Turlock, CA, in 1949, and graduated from Turlock High School in 1959. Education was important to Evelyn. She attended Modesto Junior College and then Bethany Bible College in Santa Cruz, graduating in 1964. While there her special gift as an artist was highlighted when she drew the many illustrations in the 1964 yearbook.

Besides being a member, Evelyn worked at Bethel Temple in Turlock at one point in her career. Another of her talents, musical, was evidenced as she played piano at church services.

She lived in Venice, CA after marrying James Aulds, and taught school in the Watts District of LA. During this time her son James was born.

After moving back to Turlock, Evelyn taught at Modesto Christian and Chatom Elementary School, subsequently retiring. Even in retirement Evelyn stayed active as she volunteered her time as a part time worker for Teen Challenge in Turlock.

Evelyn married Joe Elston in 1992. She passed away at The Alexander Cohen Hospice House. Among her other wonderful qualities, Evelyn was an inspiration to many people during her life for her goodness, sweetness, and the daily testimony of her Christian faith.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Caroline Lucas and her husband Joe Elston. She is survived by her son, James Auld of Turlock, and sister, Linda Hayes, of Modesto.

In lieu of flowers, Evelyn requested that donations be sent to the Turlock Gospel Mission, 290 W. Olive, Turlock, CA 95380; Modesto Gospel Mission, 1400 Yosemite Blvd, Modesto, CA 95354, and/or Teen Challenge, PO Box 611, Turlock, CA 95381.

A graveside service is scheduled for 1:00pm on December 29th at Turlock Memorial Park. Arrangements are entrusted to Allen Mortuary.
