Evadell Verrett Roe Jones

August 26, 1931 — June 16, 2019

Evadell Verrett Roe Jones, 87, a resident of Morgan City, passed away Sunday, June 16, 2019 at her home.

Evadell was born August 26, 1931, in Morgan City, the daughter of Howard Verrett Sr. and Onelia Stephens Verrett.

Evadell was born on a camp boat near Stephensville. She was a very giving person; Evadell would give to anyone in need, she found satisfaction in helping others, even if it meant sacrificing things of her own. She was the Matriarch and the glue of the family; Evadell loved spending time with her grandchildren, and she was always one phone call away if they needed her.
