Owen) (Amrine) Evans
Mrs. Helen Marie (nee: Owen) (Amrine) Evans, age 93, of Greenville,
Ohio passed away on December 24, 2015. Mrs. Evans was born May 27, 1922
in Champaign County, near Woodstock, Ohio to the late Ralph E. &

Panama City, Florida. She was a longtime volunteer at the Visual Arts
Center of Northwest Florida, in Panama City. She also is a 1940
graduate of Union City, Ohio East Side High School. Helen loved
crossword puzzles and was a fierce competitor at Scrabble. Helen
enjoyed connecting with friends and relatives on Facebook, and loved
seeing pictures and videos of her great-grandchildren. She played the
piano and baritone, and once as a young woman, about 1940, played Under
the Double Eagles on both instruments over the radio simultaneously
(baritone in right hand, piano with left). Helen was very generous,
never critical and a friend to all.
