With perfect elegance and grace, Evelyn Louise Adrian fulfilled ninety-five years of life on September 22, 2026, and has been taken to her next step on her path to eternal peace and joy. Evelyn blessed our world with her birth on September 3, 1931 in Estherville, Iowa, entrusted to her loving parents, Clara and Trygve Beian.
At a young age, the family moved to Burlington where Evelyn spent the remainder of her earthly life. At fifteen years old, she fell hopelessly in love with a tall, dark, handsome motorcycle mechanic, Ellsworth Adrian. They married and had two daughters, Barbara Adrian and Sandra Solimeno; and one son, Gary Adrian
Evelyn was a strong matriarch of the Adrian family and was often called upon for advice, guidance and compassion, which were always generously and lovingly provided. Her career path was in record keeping and accounting in which she took great pride. Evelyn was an original stockholder and Secretary Treasurer of the Board of Directors of First Medical Equipment at its inception in 1991 and for over 30 years. She was at the core of its success and was admired by all her associates.
Evelyn is survived by her three children; two grandchildren, Brandon Limkemann and Tisha Adrian Johnston; and two great-grandchildren, Gavin Springsteen and Shelbrina Limkemann.
There are no services planned as was Evelyn's wish. She and Ellsworth will be interred together at Memorial Park Cemetery.
Prugh Funeral Service is in care of the arrangements.
A memorial fund is established on behalf of the Animal Protection League at 2111 S. Third Street, Burlington, IA 52601. Evelyn was on the Board of Directors of the APL for over 30 years and proud to support their work for animals in need. Her beloved little dog, Teddy, has been entrusted to the care of granddaughter, Tisha.
