CREDIT: WINK News “Good husband, good father,” said Evett. “I couldn’t ask for better.” While Evett is celebrating her big 104, it’s not her life’s longevity that she thinks is her biggest accomplishment. “Eleanor and Bud were charter members of Grace Baptist Church, so they were a part of the foundation of this church 40 years ago,” said pastor Ascol. Through the church, Evett’s passion for helping children shined as brightly as the Pearly Gates. She helped build the Children’s Baptist Foster Home in Fort Myers. “Children are always important to people. Too many times we let the little ones bother us, but we were a little once too, and I’m sure we did the same thing,” said Evett. Evett took on an active role by working hard to establish the church’s children’s ministries. “She led a group of ladies to begin praying that the Lord would give us children in this church, when I came here 37 years ago,” said Ascol. “If someone were to attend one of our services today, you would see dozens, over 100 children here regularly with us every Lord’s Day, and that’s the fruit of Eleanor’s prayers.” Evett’s explained her prayers and faith had been a building light through all 104 years of her life. “If you keep Christ in your life, you’re on the right road,” said Evett.
