Evelyn Louise Granger

Evelyn Louise Granger (Walter), age 84, passed away at home in Ijamsville, MD, on July 2, 2022, after a lengthy illness.  Her loving husband of 65 years, Lenny, was by her side as well as their dog Kambel.  Evelyn was born April 2, 1938 in Travilah, MD and was a faithful servant to God and a member of St. Ignatius Loyola of Urbana.

Evelyn was predeceased, and the only child, of Estelle Rachel Walter (Cheeks) and Aubrey Ignatius Walter.  She was also predeceased by her daughter Sharon Louise Crummitt (Granger) and son-in-law Albert Sylvester Crummitt, Jr.

Evelyn is survived by her husband, Leonard (Lenny) Granger, their son Randy Granger and his wife Terry of New Market, MD.  Grandma will be fondly remembered by her grandchildren Sarah Virts and husband Josh of Knoxville, MD, Matt Crummitt of Ijamsville, MD and girlfriend Katie Bones of Woodbridge, VA,  Jackie Brohawn and husband Paul of New Market, MD, Brian Kujawski and wife Susan of Taylors, SC, and Erin Granger.  She is also survived by her great grandchildren Colten, Hudson and Saylor Kujawski of Taylors, SC.  The pride and joy of her life was spending time with her great grandchildren Lucas and Lily Virts of Knoxville, MD.

Evelyn enjoyed many adventures in her life camping, spending time fishing, and clamming on Chincoteague Island.  The highlight for Evelyn each year was hosting Christmas for her family though she had to endure the never-ending teasing about her meticulous method of putting icicles on the Christmas tree, then removing and saving them for the next year..

Evelyn will be fondly remembered by her beloved family and many friends from the Urbana Senior Center.  Childhood friends for over 75 years, Evelyn, Ella Ennis, Evelyn Steele and Addie Ontrich had lunch together as often as possible.  Their lifelong friendship held a special place in Evelyn’s heart.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made in memory of Evelyn to Frederick Health Hospice.
