Evelyn was born and raised in ENY Brooklyn, where she was raised by her mother Helen & grandparents Ruth and Edgar and her four uncles Edgar Jr, Edward, Edwin, & Edmond, who treated and protected her like a little sister. Her mother Helen was more than a mother to her, they were also best friends who acted just like sisters. They never went a day without speaking. She graduated from Franklin K. Lane HS. She always had a passion for dancing and loved music, especially salsa & freestyle. When Evelyn met her husband Hector they started a beautiful family having four Children, Magdalena, Cornelia, Amanda & Hector Jr. Evelyn was extremely devoted and passionate in being a homemaker, a wife and mother. She put her whole life into being a mother making sure she was there every step in raising her children, from sports to PTA meetings to dropping and picking up from school she didn’t miss a beat! She loved her children more than anything in the world. Not only was she a mother to her children but a mother figure to all. There wasn’t a kid in the neighborhood, a cousin, a friend of her children who didn’t look at “ma” or “Titi Evelyn” as a confidant and mother figure. She always had a space for anyone to lay their head, a warm plate of food or an ear to listen. She loved family gatherings and holidays her nickname during Christmas was Santa because she would make sure every child she knew had a gift and it brought her great joy to gift the people and children she loved. She couldn’t wait to become a grandmother and loved her grandchildren Natalia, Scarlett, Isaiah, and Riley Rose with all of her heart & soul. The love of a grandmother is like no other and she made sure each and every one of them felt it anytime they were with her. She also loved the family she married into. She loved being apart of the Filpo Family her sister in laws Evelyn & Kellina were her sisters and her brother in laws Jose, Carlos, Michael, Victor, & Elias were her brothers, the gang of nieces and nephews she looked at as bonus children for her. Every gathering filled with infectious laughter and love. she especially loved planning holidays and everything in between & wouldn’t miss one even when she wasn’t feeling her best. This beautiful soul although here on earth for a short time left a tremendous mark on everyone she encountered from the children to the elderly. She will be missed and always remembered for being beautiful inside and out, loving, charismatic, spicy, funny, humble woman. Gone but never forgotten. May she rest in eternal peace.
