Nevelyn Evans Edwards, 81, of Delmar, died Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at Coastal Hospice at the Lake.

Born in Milford, Delaware on February 7, 1939, she was a daughter of the late Rev. John Nevitt Evans, Sr. and Lois Estelle Kelly Evans.

She was a life member of Delmar VFW Auxiliary, member of American Legion Post #94 Auxiliary in Princess Anne, Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, and past president of Alpha Delta Chapter in Worcester County.

She loved to play piano which she played by ear since she was a little girl whether for her friends functions but most of all church.  She loved her friends and her family but she especially adored her great grand babies.
