Mary Evelyn Kukla

Mary Evelyn Kukla, 86, met her Lord and Savior on Saturday, February 2, 2019.

Evelyn was born on March 11, 1932 in York, Alabama to the late Mary Emma and Henry Howard Thomas. For 22 years, she was a flight rate specialist at Robins Air Force Base, earning numerous awards for her work. A 53-year devout parishioner of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Evelyn played organ, and proudly sang with the choir. She was the Associate Director of the Wings of Harmony Chorus of the Sweet Adelines. Her voice soared through local churches to Mossy Creek to the Cherry Blossom Festival to hallowed halls across Europe. She will forever have a song in her heart.

She is now reunited in heaven with her beloved husband, Casimir “Kaz” Anthony Kukla.
