In 1967 Willard Evans, along with his son, Bob, founded Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, located on 32nd Street across from Storvik Park. The business remains with the family, currently owned by lifelong Anacortes resident, Bob Evans and his wife Joanne. Willard was active in the funeral business until 1988, and continued to be involved for another 5 years, retiring at the age of 84. Having passed away in 2002, Willard’s vision of serving families with the utmost respect and dignity lives on. With this vision of heartfelt personal service in their ministry to families, the present full-time staff includes Joe Waham, licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer, Lennie Williams, licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer and Paula Kidder, Office Administrator. Part-time staff includes Jim Haddon, licensed Funeral Director, Linda Haddon, certified Insurance Planner and Celebrant and Ellen Evans, Administrative Accountant. Bob continues to serve as Executive Administrator and licensed Funeral Director. Please join us for a special “Halloween” themed afterhours on October 30 at 1105 32nd Street from 5:30-7:00PM.
