Shirley Evans
Shirley Evans, 70, of Bryant, Ark. was born Nov. 21, 1943. After a long battle with cancer that had metastasized in the bones early on, she went to be with the Lord on March 7, 2014. She is in no more pain.
Shirley loved to do arts, crafts, and pottery and was schooled in photography. Some of her photos have been used in brochures for organizations and she especially loved photographing American Indian people.
