Sorry Rick for your loss. My Mom passed away on May 14th 2025. Mike Hickman
We have so many good memories going back to lifting weights next door at the Osborne's sixty years ago! We shared happy times together at weddings, funerals, birthdays, baptisms, graduations, campgrounds and other family gatherings (not to mention the many and always delightful "bandaids"). She was the epitome of the sweet, caring, welcoming and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. We will miss her greatly but are happy she is where she belongs now and where she will be the happiest, with the love of her life, her dearly beloved husband. Rest In Peace, Evelyn! -Al and Yvonne
Rick and Barb, Jennifer and Stephanie- I am so very sorry for your loss. Loved reading the beautiful obituary about Your parents’ lives. May they both rest in peace.

Mrs. Blackstone and my mother first met when Vicki and I were in second grade. Together they created our costumes for the school Christmas program. We were tops that turned and spun across the stage. The costume covered from our necks to our lower legs. I was afraid of falling the entire time. Our mothers remained in contact, becoming close friends.When we were in high school, our mothers volunteered for a week in the summer with the high school marching band camp.I am honored to have known her. May your precious memories comfort you.With deepest sympathy, Kathy Durig
