Obituary- Thompson, Evelyn
Evelyn Marie Thompson
October 31, 1936 - May 6, 2021
Evelyn Thompson (nee Kovar)
Died peacefully May 6, 2021 at the age of 84 years old. Beloved wife of the late Mahlon Thompson Jr. Dear mother of the late Barbara Bielicki and mother-in-law of David Bielicki of Belgium and Katherine (David) Eurich of Bayside.

Further survived by 4 grandchildren; Johnathan Bielicki, Christopher Bielicki, August Eurich and Anastasia Eurich; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Evelyn grew up on a farm in Rossville, Kansas and was truly an educator at heart. She was ahead of her time as a woman in both science and education, earning her bachelor's degree in Biological and Physical Science in 1958 and her masters degree in science in 1963, both from Emporia State University. She married Mahlon, the love of her life and also an educator, in 1965. After moving to the Milwaukee area in 1966 she taught at a number of institutions, including spending many years teaching Anatomy and Physiology to nursing students at Milwaukee Area Technical College. She also taught high school students as a science lab instructor for over 20 years at Pius XI high school until she retired in 1996. The number of lives that she touched through her teaching is countless and is something she took pride in during her life. She enjoyed spending time with her family and taking road trips across the United States. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy.
