Evelyn Riat Marsh 91, of Joelton, Tennessee, passed away on Tuesday, May 20, 2020. Born May 19, 1929 in Nashville, Tennessee she was the daughter of the late Fred Riat and Lillie Martin Riat.
She never met a stranger and lived her life to it’s fullest and was so young at heart that within minutes you would forget her age. Weather you called her Evelyn, Ms. Marsh or Ma, if you needed a good laugh she was the person to see. Early mornings and punctuality were her downfalls but everyone has one or two. Love was what she had to give and what so many gave to her.
She is survived by her daughter Brenda Watts Burnett, loving son-in-law Sammy Burnett; grandsons, Kevin Burnett (Tessa) and Brian Burnett (Debbie); great grandchildren, Heather Haynes (Elliott), Lesley Pulous (Fadi), Aaron Burnett, Bryson Burnett and Jordan Burnett; great-great grandchildren Brynn Barrett and Belle Haynes; sisters, Angela Riat Bettis (David) and Vickie Riat Teal (Gary); life long friend, Norma Washam.; special friends, Richard and Linda Hargrove, Chris, Nathalie, Krista and Nicholas Stiers, Robert and Crystal Demonbreum, Steve and Ronda Ganaway.
Visitation and services are private for the family.
