Obituary of Evelyn Martin

Evelyn Martin Of Waukesha, died on Friday, April 29, 2011, at the age of 97 years. She was born in Baraboo, Wisconsin on July 10, 1913, the daughter of Charles J. and Sadie Page Sanders. With her parents and siblings, she moved to Waukesha as a child, and lived there for her lifetime, and graduated from Waukesha High School. On June 29, 1935, Evelyn married Daniel John Martin, also of Waukesha. She was a beloved member of her community and First Presbyterian Church, Waukesha, for many years. Evelyn welcomed to her home a constant stream of family, friends, and neighbors, who were always met with her radiant smile, her marvelous baking, and her beautiful gardens. Little ones were dazzled with cookies and spinning tops. As the children grew, they had fun swinging in her hammock and exploring the corners of her attic. Older ones knew they could count on her approval, encouragement and her listening. All delighted in climbing the magnolia tree in front of her house. In her later years she moved from her longtime home on Barstow Street to her home at LindenHeights, Waukesha, where she was an enthusiastic resident for the last nine years of her life. Evelyn is survived by her seven children; Sally (Ralph) von Briesen, Judith (Paul) Scholovich, Thomas (Kathy) Martin, Michele (Robert) McRoberts, Richard (Stevie) Martin, Lynn Waite, and Merrie Martin (Daniel Castro); 18 grandchildren, Timothy (Melanie) Trewyn, Jennifer (Paul) Hartlaub, Andrea (Lee) Strom, Sarah Rich (David Geiser), Augustus Rich, Peter (Valerie) Scholovich, Julie (David) Moyer, Anne Scholovich, Susan Martin (Eric Heid), Dan (Christina) Martin, Molly (Josh) Trout), Michael (Christina) McRoberts, Joe McRoberts, Robin (Chad Voelker) Martin, Randi (John Blanchard) Martin, Elly Bielinski, Sam (Katrina) Bielinski, and Cooper Waite; 29 great- grandchildren, Claudia Trewyn, Alexander Trewyn, Diana (Michael Brewer) Wollach, Jacob Wollach, Lydia Hartlaub, Graham Hartlaub, Emily Strom, Clayton Strom, William "Dash" Geiser, Lucy Geiser, Max Rich, Oscar Rich, Sarah Isabelle Rich, Desmond Rich, Nick Scholovich, Ben Scholovich, Jack Scholovich, Samantha Moyer, Charles Moyer, Lucas Martin-Heid, Freja Martin-Heid, Kaya Martin, Evan Martin, Ava Trout, Ryan Blanchard, Maddie Blanchard, Silas Bielinski, Ezekiel Bielinski, and Amelie Bielinski; one great-great-granddaughter, Luna Eva Wollach-Brewer; and sister, Myrtle Christensen (the late Fred Christensen).
