Evelyn Huston Blackburn
June 23, 1937 — April 8, 2009
Mrs. Evelyn Hudson Blackburn, age 71, of McCaysville, GA, passed away Wednesday, April 8, 2009 at Fannin Regional Hospital, Blue Ridge, GA. Mrs. Blackburn was born Wednesday, June 23, 1937 in Sampson County, NC to the late Laudie Hudson and the late Lizzie Tyndall Hudson. Evelyn was secretary to her husband, Dr. Gene Blackburn at the Rock of Ages Ministries for seventeen years; including the years of pastorate prior to becoming a missonary, she served faithfully alongside her husband for more than forty years sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.
She enjoyed singing, serving her Lord and adored her husband, children and grandchildren; while her main goal was to assist her husband and help encourage other missionaries along their way. She made a difference in this world to those, for the most part, who are never thought of. Our lives are blessed with sweet memories and her legacy of a woman of faith and virtue.
