Elaine Dora Evans, age 72, of Fort Myers, Florida; passed away Wednesday, July 10th, 2019 at the Hope Hospice House in Cape Coral, Florida.

Elaine was a graduate of Baltimore Institute Business School, a licensed esthetician and professional make-up artist, and a certified life coach from Fowler Coaching Academy. She enjoyed using all those skills to help others, especially young women, be the best they can be. She especially enjoyed working with young women at The PACE Center in Fort Myers, and New Life for Girls, a division of Teen Challenge.

She was dynamic, adventuresome, quick to laugh or tell a good story, recite a poem, sing a song, or play a prank. Her life was guided by her strong Christian faith and love for her family, especially for her son, Mark, daughter in-law Laura, and grandchildren Matthew and Kate. She was an inspiration to all who knew her and a treasure to her family and friends that can never be replaced.
