Evelyn Arlene Bredemeier

July 29, 1934 — February 17, 2021

Evelyn's life began on July 29, 1934 in Marion, KS.  She was the daughter of Clyde Fredrick "Fritz" and Henrietta "Hank" (Conyers) Richmond.  Evelyn was a member of the Marion High School Class of 1952.  She was united in marriage to Richard "Dick" H. Bredemeier on March 15, 1952.  Evelyn helped her husband Dick, with the Phillip 66 service stations he managed as his bookkeeper then went to work for 25 years at the Sterling (later Pfizer) Pharmaceutical packaging plant in McPherson before retiring.  Dick and Evelyn loved to camp and were members of the "Marionettes" camping group at various lakes in the region at least once a month.  They enjoyed camping with their good friends in South Central Colorado.  Evelyn enjoyed backyard barbeques with relatives, cooking, gardening, and in the early years of their marriage, she repaired and refinished antique furniture to furnish their home.  She was a volunteer at St. Luke's Hospital Auxiliary Shoppe and Eastmoor United Methodist Church, especially preparing lunches in the kitchen.  Evelyn was close to all her cousins, siblings, in-laws, and their children.  She moved to the Marion Assisted Living and then to St. Luke's Living Center for the last 20 months of her life.  Evelyn passed away on February 17, 2021 at St. Luke's Living Center.  Her greatest joy was her family which includes three sons Mike (Lynne) Bredemeier of California, Don (Donna) Bredemeier of Marion and James Bredemeier of Wichita; grandchildren Jeff, Jon, Josh, Jenessa and Jake; seven great grandchildren; and her sister Laura Jane Bredemeier of Petaluma, CA.  and brother James Richmond of Marion.  She is preceded in death by her parents, husband Dick, infant son John, and brothers Ralph and Jack Richmond.  The family will gather with friends on Tuesday February 23, 2021 at 1 p.m. in Marion Cemetery for a graveside service for both Evelyn and Dick led by Pastor Darren Frazier of the Eastmoor United Methodist Church.  Yazel-Megli Funeral Home is serving the family.  Please sign the online guestbook and leave a memory of Evelyn at www.ymzfh.com.
