Evelyn Mauldin passed away January 30, 2021 at the age of 95. Evelyn was born in Doddridge, Arkansas, where she lived until she was 6. Her father began working for the Humble Oil Company and they moved to Station C in the Texas Hill Country. She loved growing up there and went to high school in Utopia, Texas, where she met the love of her life, Bub Mauldin. They were sweethearts for 77 years, and blissfully married for 74 years, until Bub passed away in 2018. They were married in 1943, during WWII, while Bub was on leave. She went to Durham Business College in San Antonio and worked for Humble in Ingleside while Bub was stationed in Guam. They wrote to each other every day. After the war, they lived in Utopia, then moved to San Antonio in 1954. She loved her many friends and her church, Jefferson Church of Christ, and later Oak Hills Church. She was in a ladies’ club, The Gay 20s, for many years. It was a fun-loving, supportive group who were ahead of their time. Evelyn was generous and caring, often taking people to the doctor or helping in any way she could. She took care of her parents faithfully, especially her mother who lived to be 100. She was married to a very outgoing man, and would sit and beam at him as he told another one of his many stories. Evelyn had a quiet grace and simple elegance and loved to make her home and yard beautiful. She was well known for her great cooking, especially her pies! Her home was open to many, who enjoyed her warm hospitality. Evelyn was gracious to everyone she met. She will be greatly missed. Most of all, she was devoted to her family, many of whom know her as “Tommie”. She is preceded in death by her parents, Clifton and Verda Robinson, and her beloved husband, J.H “Bub” Mauldin. She is survived by her children: Linda( and Billy) Burk; Susie Mauldin (and Michael McKane and Troy Titus-Barrow); and Johnny (and Judy) Mauldin; her grandchildren: Bobby (and Jill) Burk, and their children, Abby and Jimmy; Lee Ann (and Brian) Gothard, and their children Will, Hayden and Brinley; Patrick Burk and his children Fields and Evelyn; Jessica Mauldin; Jennifer Mauldin Mensik, and her son Connor; John-Michael (and Emily) Mauldin and children, Hailey, Claire, John, Jimmy and Hannah; her sister-in-law, June Mauldin; and her honorary sisters, Boots Burk and Peggy Krcha. A big thanks to her special “daughter” Aida Huerta, who was a faithful friend and companion for many decades. In lieu of flowers, we suggest contributions in her memory to the Alzheimers Association or a charity of your choice. The Graveside Service will begin at 3:00 P.M. on Friday, February 5, 2021 at Mission Burial Park North, 20900 I H 10 West.
