Elizabeth was born to the late Walter Mason and Allie Ree Taylor Streett, May 9, 1924, in Florence, South Carolina. She was married to Horace James Evans in 1943 and, together, they enjoyed raising their family and being involved members of the Mars Bluff community. Elizabeth is survived by three daughters, Patsy (Wallace) Fraley of Florence, Linda (Bill) Price of Columbia, Connie (Roger) Blackwell of Florence; one brother, David Howard Streett of Florence. She is also survived by five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her loving husband and siblings Walter Mason Streett, Nell Streett Lanford, Herbert Terrell Streett, Ida Ree Streett Schuyler, Ethel Streett James and Albert Earl Streett. Lib was a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend. Her primary role was that of a homemaker. She loved cooking, gardening, shopping, singing, her church and taking care of others. She was supportive and encouraging, wise and kind, and always sacrificed her needs for the good of the family. She will be remembered as a selfless, altruistic soul who always wore a smile, even when times were tough. She had a quiet strength, never complained and always looked to a better future. Her heart was filled with joy which could be seen on her face or heard in her voice through song or laughter. She was an active member of Friendship United Methodist Church until recent years when her health declined. The church was her happy place and she could be found singing in the choir, acting as Sunday School superintendent, coordinating Bible School, serving on the cemetery committee or worshiping. She was also a member of Woodmen of the World where she worked tirelessly to help others and her community.
