Evelyn did like to stay up late watching Johnny Carson and other programs. Her other joys included taking care of her house, cooking Sunday dinners and cheering on the Notre Dame football team.
Miss Price was preceded in death by her sister, Hilda, and brothers, Frank and Thomas and beloved nephew Thomas P. Price.
She is survived by her three loving nieces, Jane Osman of Florence, New Jersey, Maryann Price of Carrboro, North Carolina and Rosemary Mantegani of Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. She is also survived by a grand nephew, Jim Osman of Washington, D.C., grandniece Janine Flint of Washington Township, New Jersey, sister-in-law, Mary Grayce Price, also of Carrboro, North Carolina and special friends and neighbors Norman and Holly Frederick and their children.

Evelyn and Hilda lived across the street from me on Mill street. I have very fond memories of both of them. As a child, I remember Hilda who was in a wheelchair had a special car made so she could drive. My family often asks about them. I'm very sorry for your loss.
