Evelyn L. High

Our beloved mother and grandmother, Evelyn HIgh, returned to God on January 18, 2026. She was 87.

Evelyn was the heart of our home and family. She raised two children, Larry (62) of Hanover, VA and Tom of Appleton, WI (61), in a happy and loving home to be independent and thoughtful adults. Evelyn was married for 34 years to her soulmate, Clifford Dale, who preceded her in death.

She was born in Quakertown in 1938 to Elmer and Mildred Mumbauer and grew up on the farm. Evelyn attended Quakertown High School before studying Nursing at Grandview Hospital. Evelyn worked many years as a nurse in the offices of Dr Donald Feigley and Dr Daniel Stauffer.

Evelyn was the beloved grandmother to 7, and great grandmother to 3.

Evelyn was a devoted Christian who cherished her Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. She was a lifelong member of West Swamp Mennonite Church in Quakertown, PA and took solace in knowing the Lord was watching over her. She loved children and taught preschool Sunday School class for many years. After retirement, she stayed active in church socials and her card ministry to shut-ins and the sick as well as assisting other members getting to doctor appointments and activities.

Evelyn was preceded in death by husband Dale, infant son Michael, and grandson Berend, who she will meet again in Heaven.

A memorial service will take place at West Swamp Mennonite Church at a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to West Swamp Mennonite Church in her name are encouraged.

Arrangements are in the care of the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown.
