Evelyn L. Scheer

Evelyn LaVern Scheer (Simes), age 93, was guided to heaven by her angel to be with the Lord on Friday April 15, 2016 at Our House Senior Living in Austin, MN.

Evelyn L. Albert was born on July 7, 1922, daughter of Jack and Clara (Ebel) Albert in Chester, Iowa.  She married Glenn B. Simes at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, IA.  Together they moved to Corning, MN until they purchased a farm by Dexter, MN, where Glenn and Evelyn raised their three children.  After Glenn’s death she continued to live on the farm as a housewife and enjoyed her children, beautiful flowers, taking care of the lawn, and garden.  She loved to can her wonderful dill pickles and tomatoes.  She later married Donovan Scheer and continued to live on the farm for 55 years when dementia became an issue.  Evelyn lived at Our House Memory Care for almost 14 years, and the kindness, hugs, and kisses given to her during that time will always be appreciated.  Evelyn was a happy person, never complained, and walked most of the day singing “You Are My Sunshine” and “Jesus Loves Me.” 

The love Evelyn gave each of her children and grandchildren will always be with them, and she will always be in their hearts as a wonderful Mom and Grandmother.  She is at peace with the Lord and her angel.  Her daughter, Gail, always told her when it was her time to go to heaven her angel would fly her up there and that she would not have to walk.  Evelyn will be missed by her daughter who was with her almost every day and by her loving sons.  She is in heaven now and at peace.

Evelyn is survived by her children Jerry Lee (Mildred) Simes of Austin, MN, Gail Marie (Dennis) Lorenzen of Austin, MN, and Glenn W. (Linda) Simes of Venice, FL, 8 grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, and her sister Beth Marie Samuelson.

She was preceded in death by her parents Jack and Clara, her first husband Glenn B. Simes and second husband Donovan Scheer, and 4 brothers Lester, Vernie, Jackie, and Lorraine Albert.
