Mary Pipkin Evans, of Lake Jackson, Texas, passed away on Friday, May 31, 2019.

Mary was born in Beaumont, Texas on July 30, 1932, to Ike Leroy Pipkin and Dessie Devore Pipkin. She grew up in Sour Lake, Texas, where her father worked for Texaco. After graduating from the University of Texas at the age of 20, she began her teaching career at Brazosport High School. Subsequently, her enjoyable teaching experience continued at Brazoswood High School and Brazosport College. After teaching for 35 years, she retired and followed her interest in stocks to become a broker at A. G. Edwards.

In Beaumont, Texas, on August 15, 1958, Mary married Austin Edward Evans, who preceded her in death on December 1, 1999. Her survivors include her beloved son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Mary Helen Evans of Pearland, Texas; three wonderful granddaughters, Madeline, Molly, and Bridget Evans; her lovable grand-beagle, Ollie; and a host of friends.

Mary's family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the people who helped care for Mary in her later years, including Dee Collins, Gabby Gutierrez, Michelle Balderaz, Dr. Jorge Garcia-Gregory, and Dr. Rajesh Dalal.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 8 at 4:00 pm at Chapelwood United Methodist Church, 300 Willow Drive in Lake Jackson, Texas, with pastor Joshua Lemons officiating.

My condolences to Mrs Evans family. She was one of my very favorite teachers in high school. Always had a smile on her face and a pleasant greeting any time I saw her even decades after graduation.

Condolences to the Evans family on your loss. I was privileged to have had Mrs. Evans as a teacher at Brazosport High. She was a gracious lady and an excellent teacher. May God bless and comfort you at this time and may she rest in peace.

My husband and I thought the world of Mary. She was always cheerful with a beautiful smile on her face. We took a conversational Spanish one semester and thoroughly enjoyed her and the class. Rest in peace Mary.
