A visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, at Schnider Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, at Hillcrest Memorial Chapel with burial to follow at Manchester Cemetery. Evelyn was born on December 19, 1945, in Great Falls to Adeline Pfeifle Wilson. She grew up on the “Westside” and lived on the same block her ENTIRE Life. She graduated from Great Falls High School in 1964, and then married the love of her life, Albert Pearsall. They started dating when they were 13 years old and have been married for 57 years. Albert and Evelyn were blessed with three children, Terry, Jennifer, and Stacie. Evelyn worked and loved being a waitress at the Polar Bear Café, Van Spykes, and Pam’s Friendly Diner, loving every minute of chatting with her “regulars.” In her free time, Evelyn was also a bowling coach for the youth bowlers in Great Falls and in 2007, was inducted into the Great Falls City Hall of Fame. Her unselfish acts took her all over the state for tournaments, hauling loads of youth bowlers. She also enjoyed following her grandkids in all school and sporting events, she never missed a single event. Most recently you could catch Albert and Evelyn taking long drives around the city on a nightly basis (sometimes being caught on camera and accused of stalking). The thing Evelyn loved most was getting together with friends and family playing cards or dominoes. Mom would play until 4:00 a.m. and then get upset when we did not want to stay for “just one more game.” Evelyn was preceded in death by her mother, Adeline Wilson and her Grandma Pfeifle. She is survived by her husband, Albert; son, Terry (Ronie); daughters, Jennifer (Dave) Paranteau and Stacie (Scott) Olson; six grandchildren, Brandon, Dallas, Kelcie, Britney, Deryk, and Hayden; and six great-grandchildren, Tannar, Ellie, Leo, Parker, Urban, and Oaklyn. Rest in Peace Mom. We miss and love you!
