Evelyn Moody Crocker, age 82, of Alto, Georgia, went to be with her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, December 23, 2025.
Mrs. Crocker was born on May 15, 1943 in Habersham County, Georgia to the late Henry and Alda Williams Moody. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Max Lee Crocker; son, James Henry Moody; sisters, Cora Lee Ansley and Inis Crumley; and her son-in-law, Lynn Simmons.
She was employed with Yonah Realty for over 20 years, and also engaged in other professional endeavors as well, where she was known for her strong work ethic and friendly spirit. In later years, Evelyn chose to focus her time and heart on her home, lovingly tending to her husband, Max, and nurturing her precious family, whom she held above all else. Evelyn was of the Baptist faith and was an active and faithful member of Glory Bound Baptist Church in Alto, where she found great joy in worship and fellowship with her church family. Gifted with remarkable creativity, Evelyn was quite crafty and seemed able to make almost anything with her hands. She especially enjoyed sewing and baking cakes, talents she shared generously with those she loved. Above all, Evelyn will be lovingly remembered as a devoted mother to her three children and an amazing “Granny” to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
