Born in Bunceton, Missouri on December 6, 1940 to William and Josephine (Dedrick) Vollrath, Evelyn was one of four children. She married Irving Nobles in Navasota on February 28, 1957 and together they had three children. She was a loving wife, mother, grandma and great-grandma that will be dearly missed. She worked as a bookkeeper/accountant throughout her career, 14 years of which was for Earl Smith, Jr., CPA. Evelyn loved travelling and good ole country music – and she was fortunate enough to mix those favorites into trips to country music festivals, fan fairs and concerts throughout the south. She travelled from Texas to Florida, Las Vegas , Missouri, Tennessee and everywhere in between, meeting many country music legends along the way – Kitty Wells, Hank Snow, Garth Brooks, Minnie Pearl, her favorite Gene Watson and so many others. She even met four of our U. S. Presidents! Her travels took her through the Smoky Mountains, the Mall of the Americas and every beautiful mile between destinations. Evelyn also enjoyed shopping, jigsaw and crossword puzzles and visits from the great grandchildren.
Serving as pallbearers are Justin Nobles, David Vaughn, Patrick Landgraf, Ayden Reilly, Kyle Attaway and Bill Johnson.
She is survived by sons and daughters-in-law Irving Eugene and Linda Nobles and Allan Troy and Kimberly Nobles; daughter Vanessa Kay Nobles (Charles Small); grandchildren Stacy Vaughn and husband David, Justin Scott Nobles, and April Landgraf and husband Pat; great-grandchildren Autumn, Liam and Blake Vaughn and numerous other relatives.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Irving Nobles and brothers Billy Joe, Gene and Donald Vollrath.
