The Extraordinary Evelyn Delois Watson was sent from heaven on October 22, 1949. She burst on the scene at Parkland Hospital in Dallas Texas as her parents, Wesley and Huella Wright marveled at their bundle of joy.

Evelyn was a lively spirit! As a child, music was always in her heart and a song was continually on her lips. She translated her musical gifts onto the ivory keys as she played the piano serving as Choirmaster, Musician and Minister of Music for over 50 years; beginning at New El Bethel Baptist Church and ending at Sanctuary of Liberty Church. During her musical career Evelyn had many affiliations including, traveling with James Cleveland, serving with Gospel Music Workshops of America and Youth for Christ in Dallas Tx. She retired from Dallas Independent School District after 30 years of service.

Evelyn was resilient! She loved fervently. Her effervescent personality and exuberant life will have a lasting impact on everyone.
