Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Elizabeth Dittner; her husband, William (Bill) Squires; and her only child, David McGreavy. Evelyn worked for Union Carbide and First Brands in an Executive Assistant capacity for 32 years. She co-owned and operated a pub-style restaurant and also a health club with her husband, Bill, during that time. Upon moving to Charleston in 1995, she became the Office Manager for Nancy Roettger and Louise Voelker's real estate team. She later assisted the team of Lisa O'Keefe and Bill Roettger. Evelyn subsequently retired. In retirement, she worked proudly and enthusiastically as a volunteer in the Gift Shop at East Cooper Hospital for seven years, where she continued to share her many gifts including her love of people, her selfless ways and her desire to raise the spirits of those facing struggles. Evelyn's greatest joy came from serving the Lord, her church, her extended family and friends. Evelyn prayed daily, often for hours, on behalf of many, many people, including anyone she knew or learned of from a friend or family member, who would benefit from God's help. She was a member of LifeBridge Church, the Hat Ladies of Charleston, and the Keenagers. Donations may be made to LifeBridge Church, 2312 Rifle Range Road, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464.
