Sally Pauline Evans Wilson was a remarkable woman of 88 years; born December 7, 1930 weighing a mere 2 lbs. 11 ozs. That was the first indication that Sally was going to be a fighter. Sally’s father, George Evans worked for Standard Oil. This caused their family to move often. Those frequent moves enabled Sally to be able to make friends with just about anyone. Sally and Bill met each other in Wink, TX in 1946. They fell in love rather quickly and she married Bill at the young age of 16. Bill went to work at Standard Oil as a pipeliner and his job took them many places. As a young couple they made it a priority to be active in their church and local community. Sally loved music, especially gospel music! She played the piano and had a beautiful alto voice. She also was a remarkable artist. Sally and Bill made a great team of crafters. Bill and Sally were so proud of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They strived to have a special relationship with each of them. Sally leaves a big legacy despite her very small entrance into the world. While we grieve for the loss of Sally, we rejoice that she has left her earthly body and is rejoicing at the feet of Jesus in a new perfect body.

Evelyn Helen (Kotrla) Bouska, age 93 of San Angelo, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2019.

Evelyn and her twin brother Edwin were born on June 19, 1926 in Williamson County, TX to Joe & Albina (Kovarik) Kotrla. The youngest of 10 siblings, Evelyn grew up on the family farm near Taylor, TX. She attended school in Jonah, and often commented on her horseback rides to school each day with her brothers.

At the age of 16, Evelyn moved to Tom Green County where several of her siblings were already living and farming. She took a job waiting tables at Alexander's Cafe in downtown San Angelo. This would begin a career in the restaurant industry that would span four decades, making Evelyn a familiar figure at some of San Angelo' s best known eateries, including the Log Cabin, Twin Mountain, Beaver Lodge and Santa Fe Junction.

Evelyn met the love of her life, Joe Bouska, in downtown San Angelo just before he was sent off to Italy in World War II where he would lose a limb in combat. Upon his return home, the couple was married on April 16, 1947. As Joe's war injuries limited his abilities, Evelyn' s work supported them until his death in 1965.

Known for her independence and hospitality, Evelyn took great pride in hosting family gatherings at her home. Her ability to decorate, set a table, and serve as hostess, all while making guests feel welcome, was truly a God given talent!
Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband Joe, her parents Albina and Joe Kotrla; also by brothers Jody, Oscar, Frank, August, Albert and Edwin; by sisters Hattie Machann, Minnie Chasak, and Frances McComb.

Evelyn is survived by her son Tom Townley and by numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
