Evelyn is survived by her loving children; Kathleen Terry, John Terry and his wife Joyce, Francis Terry, David Terry and his fiancé Donna Rose, all of Taunton and Eugene Terry of Attleboro. She was also mother to the late Wayne Terry. Additionally, she leaves her 9 beloved grandchildren and 9 great- grandchildren, plus many nieces and nephews.
