Evelyn Homan Hale
Evelyn Homan Hale, age 89, of Coldwater, passed away in the
company of her family, at Briarwood Village in Coldwater, on
Sunday, April 27, 2025.
She was born June 19, 1935, in Coldwater, to Ray and Leonore
(Thien) Homan.
Evelyn married David Hale in 1973, and he preceded her in death
on August 5, 2011.
Surviving are her sons: Douglas (Teresa) Heyne of Decatur, IN, Darel
(Sue) Heyne of Titusville, FL, David (Angela) Heyne of Orlando, FL,
and Duane (Virginia) Heyne of Bluffton, IN; daughter: Danika (Jesus Sr.)
Hale Contreras of Celina; daughter-in-law: Debbie Heyne of Cincinnati;
grandchildren: Anita Torres, Ryan Heyne, Jason Heyne, Megan Heyne,
Jeremy Heyne, Geanna Heyne, Justin Heyne, Kyle Heyne, Chad Heyne,
Kelsey Heyne, Cami Osier, and Christopher Heyne, as well as numerous
great grandchildren; and a sister: Doris Ann (Jerry) Will and sister-in-law:
Norma Homan, both of Coldwater.
Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, husband, son: Dennis Heyne,
great grandsons: Justus Heyne and Isaiah Heyne, brother: Gene Homan, and
step-mother: Vera (Schwartz) Homan.
Evelyn and David were happily married for 38 years, and had traveled many
places together. They enjoyed a number of years out West, before coming
back home to the Midwest to be closer to family. Both Evelyn and David
were members of the Catholic Church.
For most of her life, Evelyn was a homemaker and Mom, and there were
many who had 'adopted' her as their honorary Mom. She was also a foster
Mom to a number of children over the years as well, too many to count.
During her working career, she managed many different restaurants, and
also became a nutrition counselor.
Evelyn loved to cook. While growing up, she was assigned cooking duties.
Evelyn was always trying new recipes, or making her own, and whatever she
made was always incredibly delicious. If surprised by a visit from friends or
family, she was immediately in the kitchen 'throwing something together'
for her guests.
While living at Briarwood, many workers, other residents, and their families
would stop by Evelyn's room to visit or talk things over, and listen to her bits
of advice and wisdom. She loved on all of them, and so appreciated everyone
who came to see her. Evelyn's visitors would most always get an "I love you"
as they left.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 AM, Monday, May 5,
at Immaculate Conception Church in Celina.
Calling Hours are at W.H. Dick & Sons-Hellwarth Funeral Home in Celina,
2:00 to 4:00 PM on Sunday, May 4, and prior to the service on Monday,
from 9:30 to 10:15 AM.
In lieu of flowers, Memorial Contributions may be made to EverHeart Hospice.
