Evelyn Sevcik
d. January 28, 2015
Evelyn A. Sevcik (Evanicky), of La Grange entered into eternal life on January 28, 2015. Evelyn was born April 7, 1930 in Plum to Joseph and Albina Evanicky. She was baptized on April 20, 1930 at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Plum. On May 22, 1944 she married Leon A. Sevcik at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Plum. Evelyn was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Catholic Daughters of America.
In the 1940’s Evelyn and Leon packed up and moved to Galveston where they raised 4 children and ran Hugo’s Place for many years before returning to La Grange in the 1970’s. After settling back home, they opened the Pastime Club on the square in La Grange which became a favorite hangout spot for many. Evelyn kept the Pastime Club up and running for many successful years before retiring in 2001. Since then, she spent her days with her family doing what she loved best; traveling back to Galveston for visits, playing dominoes, cooking festive meals including her famous banana cake, and most importantly being together with family making precious memories.
Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Leon of 54 years, her son Leon A. Sevcik, Jr., her grandsons Kirk Gonsoulin and Leon “Bubba” A. Sevcik III, her great- grandson Alan M. Sevcik, her daughter-in-law Darla J. Sevcik, and two sisters Alma Schulze and Alice Myers.
