IN LOVING MEMORY OF MARIAN EVKOVICH Fellow
member, Marian Lydia Evkovich, who lived in Akron, passed away on Sat., Oct. 26, 2019 at the age of 78. She was born
April 23, 1941 and raised by immigrant parents. She lived a rich life in Serbian culture and heritage. Surrounded
by loving relatives, including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, she learned by example a very strong work ethic, the
application of which resulted in a long and respected career as a teacher. Marian never had any children of her own,
however she spoke of the attachment she felt to her many students. An avid reader herself, she had passion for helping
children improve their reading and she was very effective in her chosen field. Although she did formally retire, she
never stopped teaching. Though limited by post-polio complications, she made time to direct neighbors (through written
letters) to lessons that had become most important to her; Bible lessons. Marian was an active member of the Akron Post-Polio Support Group for many years, until it
became to difficult to drive and attend our meetings. She did make it to one of our meetings in the past year but was
struggling with great difficulty. She also attended our monthly ladies’ luncheons (the “Ya-Ya’s) once
a month for several years. In addition to suffering with her post-polio, she had battled breast cancer as well.
We will remember Marian fondly…her friendship and showing her support being “one of us.” A memorial
from our support group was sent in Marian’s name to her favorite charity. |
