Obituary for Evelyn Lattimer
Evelyn Lattimer, passed away on Friday, December 20, 2019, after a valiant fight against recently diagnosed lung cancer, at her daughters’ residence, in Middletown New York, surrounded by her loving family, she was 81. She had the privilege of receiving the best care from her favorite RN, granddaughter Vanessa who worked tirelessly to be an advocate for every medical decision and granddaughter Rachel; both of whom put their lives on hold to care for her.
Evelyn was born on September 11, 1938, in Greenville, NY to the late Gerald and Vera Howell Snyder. Evelyn graduated from Middletown High School. She married William H. Lattimer, on June 15, 1957. Evelyn held various full time clerical positions throughout her life. She was proud of her tenure at General Telephone as a proficient keypunch operator. She left the workforce to become a stay at home Mom and a dedicated right-hand woman to her father-in-law George Lattimer, in the fields at Lattimer and Sons Potato Farm. She worked tirelessly side by side with George, as she helped to maintain the gardens that grew most of the vegetables that were on our table. After working in the fields, she would bring her bounty home to can or freeze for future use. Mom would also knit our hats and mittens. She enjoyed crossword puzzles, video games and completing crytoquips. Evelyn was a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, 242 in Wellsville, NY. Mom and Dad resided in Scio, NY for the past 28 years.
