Elizabeth A. Evanoski 1934-2022

Known as “Betty” by everyone who loved her, she was born Nov. 2, 1934, in New Castle, Pa. She was the daughter of the late Anna Shultz Kos and Anton Kos. After graduating from New Castle High School in 1952, Betty worked before becoming a wife and mother of her proud children.

She is survived by Kathe (Frank) Mazzarino of Memphis, Tenn., Walt (Barb) Evanoski of Houston, Texas, Ed (Jill) Evanoski of Wildwood, Mo. and Janet (Rocky) Page of Canfield.

Betty, an excellent cook and baker, was certified in 1982 as a medical assistant, but ultimately worked retail before retiring to babysit her granddaughter.

Betty leaves a living legacy in her four grandchildren, Caitlin (Winston) Douglas of Atlanta, Ga., Michael Evanoski of Houston, Texas, Grace Evanoski of Wildwood and Lexie Page of Canfield. She is also survived by her first great-grandchild, James Douglas, of Atlanta, Ga.

She was a proud member of OCCHA (Organizacion Civica y Cultural Hispana Americana), where she was twice voted Mother of the Year. She was also active in the American Legion Auxiliary and Card Club, as well as Eagles Posts 3298 and 213. She was a devout member of St. Christine Church in Youngstown for more than six decades.

Betty lived a life of kindness and servitude toward every living being. There was never a dull moment when Betty was around. She had many friends who all loved her. She was full of life and never turned down an opportunity to travel somewhere new. There are not enough words to describe her impact on this world.

She was preceded in death by her brothers, John, Carl, Robert and Anthony Kos.

She also leaves a lasting imprint on her nieces and nephews.

A private family service will be held at St. Christine Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Rescue Mission of Mahoning Valley.
