Evelyn Emily Hopkins passed away peacefully at Johns Hopkins Bayview Center on Sunday June 11, 2017 at the age of 90. Her beloved husband of 70 years, Kenneth R.

Evelyn was born and raised in South Baltimore, Maryland and later became a long time resident of Laurel, Maryland. Evelyn’s life was completely devoted to supporting her husband’s career goals while she provided unwavering home stability for her 5 children. Evelyn was an accomplished homemaker during a most challenging era in our country’s history. She was steadfast in what she deemed as her responsibilities as a wife and mother of 5. She was an Extraordinary Cook and she enjoyed preparing creative, balanced, meals each and every day. There was never any Fast Food, or Microwave Meals in her home. Evelyn was truly an example of what most women would like to attain as a Wife and Mother. She will be greatly missed.

Service will be held at Kirkley-Ruddick Funeral Home at 421 Crain Hwy S., Glen Burnie, MD starting at 10 am on Wednesday June 15, with interment and reception to follow.
