Mrs. Frieda Davis Evans, 97, died on January 6th, 2023, peacefully surrounded by family at UNC Rockingham Health Care (Morehead Hospital) in Eden, NC.

She was a member of the Church of God and lived a life serving in various roles in the local church including Sunday School Teacher, Prayer Warrior, and Visitation Ministries.

Mrs. Evans was a proud mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother. Her family was always a topic of conversation and having five generations gave her great joy. Her children are Gloria Jean Harris (Charlie) of Winston Salem, NC, Janice Black of Greensboro, NC, Daryl Evans (Tina) of Manchester, IN and Kenneth Evans of Stoneville, NC. She had 12 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren.
