Chris D. Evans
Born in Edenton, North Carolina in 1964, I experienced the death of my
mother at the early age of 7, my mother was only 35. During high school,
I began working part-time in the local funeral home. After graduating, I
began college with the goal of becoming a youth minister. Later I found
my calling was in funeral service. I earned my degree in funeral service
and became licensed by the North Carolina Board of Funeral Service. At
the age of 25, I became a partner in a large funeral home. I later moved
to Lenoir for a short time when we joined with a partner and bought the funeral
home in Edenton, my home town. After selling it in 1996, we began our
journey back to Lenoir to raise our children and be with family. Our
plans are to stay here in Lenoir, my wife’s home town, and make it our home and
our place of retirement. I am an ordained deacon, and with my wife Lisa, and children we are active members of Lower Creek Baptist Church.
Lisa Saunders-Evans
Born in Lenoir, I am the daughter of the late Bob and Becky Saunders from the Lower Creek community. I was raised in Lenoir and graduated from
Hibriten High School. After high school, I worked for the Lenoir Police
Department and Southern Bell as a dispatcher. I also worked with a local
florist as a designer. As I moved, I found myself working in the floral
business. After we bought our funeral home in Edenton, we decided to open a
florist in the funeral home. During this time, I also went to school and
obtained my North Carolina Insurance License. I used this to assist families in
funding their prearranged funerals that they had made with one of our funeral
directors. After moving back to Lenoir, my focus has been on our children.
After working with Bank of America for a short period of time, we found it
necessary for me to come home to our family business.
Our Children
Together we have two wonderful children, Jonathan “Jon” and Elizabeth “Liz”.
They are the very reason we strive to help people. We want to continue
encouraging them to serve people. Jon graduated college in May, 2008 with a Associate Degree, in Entertainment Technology Program Live Sound Reinforcement and Concert Lighting Degree from Guilford Technical Community College in High Point, N.C. Jon currently lives in High Point, and is a Guitarist/Programing with Layden The Band, Greensboro, N.C. Liz is finishing high school and works part time at Fatz in Lenoir. She plans to attend college in 2010, and is active in our church, Lower Creek Baptist Church.
