Evelyn Dolores Draper Resident of San Francisco Passed away June 10th, 2009, in San Francisco, at the age of 84. Born November 5th, 1924 in Meadville, PA, Evelyn was raised in Somerville, TN, before relocating to San Francisco at the age of 20, where she remained a resident for the next 64 years of her life. Evelyn was best known for her unrelenting dedication to her two daughters, and for her 40 years of recognized service; first a teacher, then an elementary school principal, for the children of the San Francisco Unified School District. After her retirement, she continued her service to the community as an educator for young adults attending San Francisco Community College. She loved jazz, blues and gospel music; tending her roses, and enjoying her garden. Evelyn was loved by so many: for her smile, her heart and her willingness to give, always. Evelyn was recognized for being so genuinely beautiful on the inside. Her natural disposition and sense of humor drew many, and she was frequently acknowledged for the striking resemblance she bared to Lena Horne. She is an angel. Evelyn was preceded in death by her daughter, Djuanique Cyran Draper. She is survived by her daughter, Yulauncz Jevelle Draper, of San Francisco. Services will be held in her honor on Wed, June 17 2009, at 1:00pm at Sunset View Mortuary, top of Fairmount Ave., El Cerrito. Viewing will be held the night prior, Tuesday, June 16, 6pm to 8pm.
