Evelyn Helton Hagy (June 28, 1937 – December 10, 2020) passed away peacefully on December 10, 2020 at English Meadows Abingdon Campus.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Gladys and Floyd Helton, and her son, Mark Hagy.
She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Billy Hagy of Abingdon, VA, her daughter, Pam Hagy, of Nashville, TN, granddaughter, Britney Hagy Broyhill (husband James) and great grandchildren, Jameson and Brooklyn Broyhill, of Charlotte, NC, and granddaughter, Brooke Hagy of Washington, DC.
Evelyn was a life-long resident of Abingdon where she loved gazing out on the Blue Ridge Mountains. She was a master doll maker and taught ceramics and porcelain classes for many years. Evelyn also enjoyed sewing, quilting, reading, cooking, traveling, and her church. One of her most memorable trips was to the Holy Land. She was a proud member of the Abingdon First Assembly of God congregation. She loved making sourdough bread and pancakes for her family. An avid dog lover, she cared for many dogs over the years. Current pets, Susie and Baby, miss her terribly.
She worked part time for years as the site manager for the District 3 nutrition program that was dedicated to improving the life of seniors in Abingdon and Washington County.
Evelyn was devoted to her children and grandchildren. She spent countless hours making sure they all knew how loved they were. From sewing, cooking, baking, gardening, riding their bikes, Sunday school, and telling stories of her family’s history, she made sure they all had a well-rounded education beyond traditional school. Her granddaughters affectionately referred to her as Mim.
