Alice May Evans

Alice May Miller Evans was born on April 19, 1935 in Myrtle Point, Oregon to Orvus H. Miller and Rosa Belle McQuigg Miller.  After a short illness Alice left this earthly life on June 30, 2025 and crossed over to her heavenly home to be with God and to at last be reunited with her husband Richard (Dick) Evans whom she greatly missed and who preceded her in death in November 2020. 
   After contracting rheumatic fever as a young child Alice grew up at her home along Sitkum Lane.  She was active in 4-H and participated in band and sports and graduated from Myrtle Point High School.  Alice met Richard (Dick) Paul Evans during high school and they married on June 19, 1954 and made Myrtle Point their home.  Richard and Alice had three children, Darrell R. Evans, Virginia D. Evans Harris and Richard P. Evans, Jr.
   Over the years, Alice helped Richard work on his father’s Holstein dairy as well as driving bus for the Myrtle Point School District for 20 years before retiring.   Alice had a long and active life where, along with Dick, they raised sheep and pigs and encouraged their children with their animals and helped them take their various animal projects to the Coos County Fair and on to the Oregon State Fair in 4-H and in FFA. Alice was a   4-H Club leader for several years and also continued to show sheep and Holstein dairy cows.  Alice also was active in the Coos County Fair by serving as the Sheep and Swine Superintendent for a number of years.  In her later years Alice raised llamas and was successful in showing them in various fairs and winning numerous awards including a couple of National Halter Championships and having their animals place in the top 10 at the National Llama Show in Lincoln, Nebraska. Alice continued her participation at the Coos County Fair and even had an entry in the 2025 Fair. 
     Alice is survived by her three children and their spouses, daughter Virginia D (Evans) Harris and husband William (Bill) Harris, and sons Darrell R. Evans and wife Carolyn Evans, and Richard (Rick) Evans, Jr.  Alice also enjoyed her 9 grandchildren: granddaughter Melissa (Evans) Lysaght and her husband Matt Lysaght, grandsons Michael Evans and Mitchell Evans,  grandson William M. Harris, Jr. and wife GinaMarie Harris, granddaughter Keeley D.M. (Harris) Chase and husband Jef Chase and granddaughter Michelle (Evans) Hopkins and husband Aaron Hopkins, Barbara Evans, Jennifer Klope and James Evans, as well as and numerous great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
     In keeping with Alice’s wishes, there will not be a memorial service; there may be a short dedication in Alice’s memory at Little People Llama Showmanship during this year’s Coos County Fair.
