Born on October 31, 1925, in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of Nicholas and Katarina (Harnacker) Kersch, Evelyne married William C. May on January 12, 1946.

She was an avid reader, enjoyed crocheting, cooking and baking (especially bread), and always thinking of others before herself, was generous to family and charities. Evelyne was known to be a “tough player” of the game Aggravation.

Collins, Colorado, William “Willow” (Arlene “Irene”) May of Pickett, Linda Krueger of Hillsboro, Wisconsin, and Laura (Dennis) Kolbus of Amherst, Wisconsin; 11 grandchildren, Robyn Jensen, Jason May, Jennifer Treleven, Marie Cobb, William Krueger, James Krueger II, Troy Krueger, Mark Krueger, Katie Asberry, Justin Kolbus, and Nicholas Kolbus; 21 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Evelyne was preceded in death by her husband; parents; a son-in-law, James Krueger; a granddaughter, Carol Ann “CA” Erickson; two brothers, Nicholas and Anthony Kersch; and a sister, Betty Leitgeb.
