Evelyn Leonard Mann

Evelyn Leonard Mann, 88, of Davidson County, passed away peacefully on October 23rd, 2025. Born on August 3rd, 1937, in Davidson County, she was the daughter of the late David Delmar Leonard and Perry Lucille Everhart Leonard.

A lifelong resident of her beloved hometown, Evelyn met the love of her life, Harold Blaine Mann, while in high school. The two shared an extraordinary bond and celebrated 71 beautiful years of marriage together.

Throughout her life, Evelyn found great joy in the simple pleasures—camping trips up and down the East Coast, especially at Green Mountain in Lenoir, NC, tending to her flower gardens, and admiring the peaceful view of her fish pond and lake house. She was happiest surrounded by her family, whom she cherished dearly. Her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and the comforting aroma of her cooking—especially during the holidays when she lovingly prepared her famous breakfasts for everyone.

Above all, Evelyn was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose love and care touched every member of her family. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, devotion, and deep family roots that will continue to live on through those she loved most.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Harold Blaine Mann; her son, Greg Mann (Lori); her daughter, Lisa Johnson (Jeff); grandchildren, Joseph Crowder, Travis Mann (Jennifer), Emily Tomlin (Mark), and Austin Mann; and great-grandchildren, Owen Mann, Parker Mann, Molly Mann, Maelynn Brinkley, and Madilynn Brinkley.

A funeral service will be held at Center Hill Baptist Church on Wednesday, October 29th, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with visitation beginning at 1:00 p.m. prior to the service. A committal service will follow at Forest Hill Memorial Park.
