Evalena Grace Michaels' Obituary
Evalena Grace Michaels, nee Cleveland, 77, of Vero Beach, Fl., died peacefully Jan. 13, 2011, from the effects of post-polio syndrome, at the VNA Hospice House, Vero Beach, Fl.
She was born Jan. 12, 1934, W. Conesville, Schoharie County, NY, to Leonard and Grace Crumb Cleveland. 'Evie' was the oldest of 6 children, raised in Oak Hill, NY and East Durham, NY. She graduated Greenville HS, Greenville, NY in 1953.
She worked for Farm Family Insurance Company, Glenmont, NY, retiring after 35 years of proud work service. Evie 'grew up' with Farm Family Insurance Co., starting work there when there were only 9 employees, and the company was located in a small office in Delmar, NY.
Over the years, Evie had many interests, her most recent passions being golf and quilting. She golfed at Winding Brook Golf Club, Valatie, NY, and Vista Plantation, Vero Beach, Fl. She belonged to three quilting clubs; SunBonnet Sue Club, Vero Beach, and two informal clubs in upstate NY. She made many beautiful quilts over the years for family and charity.
Evie is predeceased, 40 years ago, by her former husband, Irving Poncho Dorenz.
She is survived by her loving husband of 26 years, Charles S. Michaels, formerly of East Greenbush, NY. She is survived by her only child, Margaret Dorenz Oliver (Gary) of Delmar, NY and step-children Patti Taylor of Calgary, Canada, David Michaels (Marilyn) of Schodack, NY, Joan Michaels of Schodack, NY, and Kathy Saybe (Jose') of North Greenbush, NY.
She is also survived by her loving brothers Leonard Cleveland (Gloria) of Santaquin, UT, Eugene Cleveland of Oak Hill, NY, Richard Cleveland (Sue) of Sun City, CA, Dennis Cleveland (Ginny) of Preston Hollow, NY. She is predeceased by her brother LeRoy Cleveland (Gail) of East Durham, NY. Surviving grandchildren are Sommer Ingalls of Delmar, NY and Jacob Ingalls of Tacoma, WA., along with many step-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Memorial Services are planned for Vero Beach, Fl. and upstate, NY. The dates are to be determined.
