Evelyn Olivencia

Evelyn Olivencia, 57, passed away on Saturday, December 18, 2021, in the care of Spruce Manor, West Reading. Born in Villalba, Puerto Rico, she was the daughter of the late Ramon Olivencia and Andrea Alvarado Laboy.

Evelyn was a member of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church.

Evelyn devoted her life to raising her five children, and later to doting on her ten grandchildren. She was a poet and her beautiful handwriting elevated each one into a piece of artwork. Evelyn also loved to sew and crafted for as long as she could. She was a vivacious and funny woman who was loved by many and always liked to have her way. She also had an appreciation for coffee and would not converse until she had it.
