Saltville, VA Evelyn Maybelle Heath Cardwell, November 1, 1937- December 29,2020, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Evelyn was full of life and love and never met a stranger. Anyone that was around her knew how much she loved Jesus and her family. Evelyn loved to draw and would draw pictures and send them to family and friends letting them know she was thinking of them and praying for them. Family was everything to Evelyn. Anytime family could gather together there would be lots of laughter and fun. Evelyn loved to laugh, dance and sing. She loved writing songs and playing the piano. She was so creative and would find a use for anything lying around.
