Evlyn was born on December 22, 1927, in Stockton, California, the daughter of Royal M. Robinson and Alice A. Butler Robinson, and died in Enid on August 26, 2022. Evlyn was raised in Belva, Oklahoma, and later moved to Enid and graduated from Enid High School with the class of 1945. She attended Phillips University and graduated from the St. Mary's School of Nursing in 1968. She worked as a Registered Nurse and obtained specialized training in oncology nursing and enterostomal therapy. She was the first ET in Northwest Oklahoma, caring for ostomy patients in regional hospitals and providing wound care in senior living centers.
She served as regional representative of the American Cancer Society, co-founder and eleven-year Board member of Enid's Hospice Circle of Love, and founding board member for community continuing education organization. She volunteered with the American Red Cross and served on medical teams for mission trips to India. In 1993, she was honored as Woman of Achievement for Community Service by the March of Dimes' Enid Chapter. She retired in 1997 after sixteen years of service at St. Mary's Hospital. Evlyn valued each person she encountered and believed deeply that "To the world, you might be one person, but to one person, you just might be the world."
She is survived by her son David Crawford and his spouse Sharon Mook, her son Steven Crawford, her granddaughter Cameron Crawford-Mook, and many beloved nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by Eugene Crawford, her husband of 47 years, and her brother Donald Robinson. Memorial contributions in Evlyn's name may be made to Hospice Circle of Love or Our Daily Bread, with Brown-Cummings Funeral Home serving as custodian of the funds.
