Evelyn B. Shupe, a beloved mother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully at her home on March 2, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born on December 21, 1955, Evelyn lived a life dedicated to caring for others, evident in her long-standing career as a midwife in the Philippines and her over 20 years of service at Walmart in Tucson, Arizona.

Evelyn was a person who brought joy to those around her with her selfless, caring, and energetic personality. Her kindness extended not only to her family and friends but also to everyone she encountered in her professional and personal life. She was a spirited individual with a passion for dancing, playing bingo, and staying connected with loved ones through social media.

Evelyn's educational journey began with her graduation from Ichon National High School, followed by earning her bachelor's degree from the St. Vincent School of Midwifery.

Evelyn's love story with her late husband, Richard Shupe, was one marked by adventure and loyalty. Their time together included military life, as her husband served and they were stationed in Turkey and throughout the Middle East, eventually settling at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, where they would remain for over 35 years. Together, they created a lasting legacy of love and support that will be remembered by all who knew them.

In 2022, Evelyn made the heartfelt decision to move from Arizona to Laceyville, Pennsylvania, to be closer to her sister, Merlyn Fassett, and brother-in-law, Henry Fassett, Jr.. Her transition to Laceyville marked a new chapter in her life, and she embraced her new surroundings with warmth and grace.

Evelyn is survived by her sister, Merlyn Fassett, and brother-in-law, Henry Fassett, Jr. of Laceyville, PA.
