Birth date: Oct 25, 1929 Death date: Aug 24, 2019
Evelyn D. Petrucci, 89, of Dover, DE passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 24, 2019. She was born October 25, 1929 in Nesquehoning, PA to the late George R. Wharen, Sr. and Violet L. Wharen. Evelyn was a teacher in Capital Di Read Obituary
Evelyn was teaching at Central Middle when I began in 1973. Both her students, whom she championed, and her colleagues, with whom she enjoyed mutual respect, were glad she was on staff. She was helpful to me, a new, uncertain teacher. I was sad to read of her death, but so glad that I knew her.

To Roseann and family:
My condolescenes on the passing of your Mother. You shared many wonderful stories about her during our years commuting together on the state van pool. Especially her active lifestyle in retirement including trips to Dover Downs at all hours, and your attempts to monitor her whereabouts. Blessings to you and your family as your share fond memories.

I’ve been fortunate and blessed to share 46 years with “Mom”, Evelyn, as my mother-in-law. We shared a kind, caring, and respectful relationship. I valued her fairness and honesty. She was generous in so many ways, especially with her heart.
Many years ago she had taken our little son David for an outing. They had stopped for ice cream. She brought me back a cone of my favorite, “coffee”. I was pregnant with daughter Mary at the time. She believed expectant mothers shouldn’t “wish for something”! I will always remember the gesture she showed me that day. It was a very big little thing. That was her.
The love, affection, and care she had for my own children, and grandchildren, is the greatest gift for any mother. I’m forever grateful. I loved her and will miss her.
Rest In Peace, Mom
Love,
Jean
Our favorite memories of Evelyn are the many times we ran into her at Dover Downs! She was always a winner! RIP
