The Story of Evelyn48

Founder, Linda Hillaire, visualised and created Evelyn48 at a time when experiencing great personal loss. We all know that there will be day when those central to our lives will leave us. For Linda, it was the loss of her beloved mother Evelyn.

Evelyn, a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, was the head of the family. She raised five children on her own and as a role model she ensured that her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren would grow up to shape their lives to became confident individuals able to be positive role models for generations to come.

The family home at number 48 was warm, foundational and nurturing. This was where unforgettable memories were built. It was the place that shaped the lives of the five children of Evelyn and later grandchildren and great-grandchildren would have their own memories and stories to tell about number 48. 

If only walls could talk! Each one of Evelyn's children would have their own stories to tell and many admired what they observed without being privy to all that a family endures and experiences. The events that followed the loss of

Evelyn, highlighted all the confusion of grief that can ensnare a family. The confusing tasks of executors when managing the will and new interpretations of clear requests are just a few of the challenges any family may face at the most vulnerable time when grieving for a family member. 

Today, acceptance and cherished memories combined with discipline have been the inspiration which set Linda of on her journey to create Evelyn48. Linda poured her energies into focusing on an idea that would be known as Evelyn48.

An idea that would help those left behind such as friends or family to carry out the important role of last wishes and affairs.  How would you like to be remembered?  What lasting memories would you like to leave for your family and friends. It is a challenging role for anyone to take on but if we could leave our instructions in order, think how much more straightforward the task would be for the executors? Linda Hillaire
