Evelyn Plunkett Brynelsen

Brynelsen, Evelyn Plunkett Age 94, a treasure we'd never trade, died surrounded by love on November 17, 2016. She is preceded in death by her beloved and curious husband of 53 years, Orville Lincoln; her honored parents, Henry and Anna Hoffman Plunkett; her dear brother Henry and nephew James (Gwen); and her precious childhood caretaker Miss Levy. She is survived by nieces and nephews Karen (Thomas Muenster), Robert (Karen), Katherine, and Laura (Thomas Cali) and great-nieces and nephews William, Anna, Bradley, Natalie, Claire, Martin, Andrew, Reade, Adriana, and Lorenzo. She further is survived by Ruth Kane her dear friend for 76 years, her godchild Sue Kubicek and her devoted Dugans- the eight children of the late Tom and Jo Dugan--Josephine (the late Fernando), Marye Beth (Joe), Thomas (Mary), Hannah, Hugh (Ute), Honore (Tony), Cordelia (Jon) and Amy (Doug) -- and her dear friend Patricia Zenda Dugan. She was "Grandma Evy" to Mame (Andrew), Callan, Honore (Tom), Fiona, Dominic, Clara, Anna, Felipe, Javier (Audrey), Isabel, Annie, Margaret, Sarah, Grace, Thomas, Victoria and Evelyn. She is remembered fondly by many friends, especially the residents and staff of St. Camillus Skilled Nursing. Evy worked proudly for years at Northwestern Mutual Life, and later as an appraiser at Treasure Traders. She was an enthusiastic antique collector, voracious reader, and a delightful storyteller- some of the stories true, some blarney, but always witty and entertaining. She will be missed. Future interment at Calvary Cemetery.
