November 7, 1940 - September 29, 2024
Effie “Evelyn” Madaris, 83, of Rossville, Georgia, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, September 29, 2024. She was born in Dekalb County, Alabama, to the late Grover and Lynette Black. Evelyn had lived in the Rossville area for over forty-five years and attended North Georgia Worship Center in Wildwood, Georgia. Evelyn enjoyed crocheting and visiting with friends and family on the telephone. She also always enjoyed getting a good deal on QVC. She loved her constant companion, Sophia, but most of all, she loved spending time with her family. She dearly missed her husband of over fifty years, and her family is comforted to know they are together again. Her family's love for Evelyn was deep and unwavering, and she will be missed.
Evelyn is preceded in death by her loving husband of over fifty years, J.B. (John) Madaris; parents, Grover and Lynette Black; and brother, Randall Black.
Those left to cherish her memory include her children, Dorayn Madaris of Rossville, Georgia, Daphney (Tim) Scoggins of Rossville, Georgia, and Denise (Robbie) LaNeve Ridge of Signal Mountain, Tennessee; sisters Deloris Anderson of Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Linda Sizemore of Rainsville, Alabama; grandchildren Hollie Hulgan, Nicholas Scoggins, and Dylan Madaris; and great-grandchildren Julia, Aiden, and Jackson.
