Evelyn H. Braun

Went to her heavenly home on March 14, 2019, age 95.  Beloved wife of the late Ed Braun. Dear mother of Ed Braun, Jr. and Bruce (Lori) Braun. Loving grandma of Charity (Steve) Devroy, Brittany (Dean) Klug, Camryn, Andy (Rachel) Braun, Katie (Cam) Ausen, Rachel, and Jacob Braun. Great grandma of Jeremiah Devroy, Eve and Ruth Klug, and Gloria Braun. Further survived by brother Harold (Marge) Buelow, brother-in-law Elmer (Joan) Braun, and sister-in-law Erna (the late Don) Roenspies. Also dearly loved by many nieces, nephews and other family members and cherished friends.

Evelyn attended St. John’s Lutheran School in Milwaukee and graduated in the first graduating class of Rufus King High School in 1941. She was a faithful worker at Chain Belt, Usingers (over 50 years), and a dedicated volunteer at St. Matthew’s for many years. Evelyn most enjoyed time spent with her family and friends, cooking and baking for them, reading, and doing the daily crossword puzzle. She was a faithful member of St. Matthew Lutheran Church, Naomi Guild, and Ladies Aid. She was a very devoted wife and mother and cherished time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
