Judith Evans Obituary

The Evans Family announces the death of Judith Carr Evans at 84 on March 29, 2024.

Judy was born February 19, 1940 in Washington, DC to Oliver T. Carr Sr. and Dorothy Peed Carr. Spending her entire life in the Washington, DC area, Judy attended Beauvoir and National Cathedral School (NCS) before heading to American University and graduating with a BA in Education.

Judy was diagnosed with breast cancer at 36, but she was extremely strong-willed and beat the disease, continuing to raise her children and embarking on world travel, most notably trips to Mount Kilimanjaro, Patagonia and Antarctica. She also had a deep love for spending time at the Delaware beaches, in the desert of Arizona and raising her many dogs.

In addition to her family, fun and passion for music, Judy helped start The Family Support Center and The Byrnes School, as well as remaining very active at NCS, receiving the Volunteer Achievement Award in 2023 from her Class of 1958.

Judy is survived by brothers Oliver Jr. and Phil; former husband, David with whom she remained very close; along with the three sons they raised (Steve, Jeff and Brian); three daughters-in-law (Peggy, Lianne and Bridget) and seven grandchildren (Brandi, Tyler, Hannah, Ben, Olivia, Mark and Megan).

A Memorial Service will be held Saturday May 11, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at St. David's Episcopal Church, 5150 Macomb Street, Washington, DC with a reception to follow at the Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Association, National Capital Area.
