December 28, 1928 — December 31, 2025
Mebane
Evelyn Irene Royster Walters, 97, of Mebane, went to her heavenly home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on December 31. She was born in Alamance County to the late Joseph Fleet Royster and Lula Hayes Royster. Evelyn was married to the love of her life, Bernard B. Walters, for 40 years.
She was a graduate of Mebane High School, Class of 1947, and the Greensboro School of Beauty Culture, Class of 1962. Evelyn worked for Western Electric for several years. After receiving her beautician license, she worked as a beautician in Graham and from her home for more than 40 years. She was also a volunteer with Meals on Wheels.
Evelyn loved her Lord, her husband, her family, and her friends. She was a caregiver to several family members during their illnesses and truly had a servant’s heart. She loved her church family at Eastside Baptist Church in Mebane. Evelyn enjoyed traveling, adored her pets, and loved working with flowers in her yard.
She is survived by many nieces and nephews, including nephews Vance “Jack” Lowe (Michele), Donald Lowe (Bonnie), and niece Darlene Lauzau (Steve), who cared for her in her recent years. She is also survived by special friends who loved her and showed her kindness throughout the years.
In addition to her parents, Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Bernard Walters, and her sister, Pauline “Polly” Pender (Thomas Everette).
The family would like to extend special thanks to the caregivers and staff of Brookdale Senior Living (Memory Care) and AuthoraCare of Burlington for their kindness and compassionate care.
Evelyn was a special, sweet lady. Her legacy will live on in our hearts and memories. She truly was a virtuous woman (Proverbs 31).
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at McClure Funeral Service in Mebane from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. A celebration of life service will follow at 11:00 a.m. in the McClure Funeral Chapel, officiated by Pastor Chris Hill and Preacher Chuck Perkins.
