Lamar Missouri Long Time area Educator
Dies-Date Unknown
by Doug Davis
Lamar lost one of her beloved educators Saturday when
Fay Evilsizer
died quietly in her sleep at her home in Iantha. She was
on who dedicated her life to education and was very successful
at what she did. When retirement came she only ended one career
to begin another at a higher level. She retired from being a
teacher and began to teach teachers how to teach. She began her
teaching career in a rural school during the beginning of the
Great Depression, teaching in Iantha, then on to Lamar. She
retired from Lamar Schools in 1967, where she had been a first
grade teacher and then elementary principal; but she didn't stop
teaching. What she had been doing part time, she then turned
into full time, teaching teachers at their Horace Mann Lab
School. She liked students. She liked her job. She was certainly
a person who liked children. She was witty and very impressive.
You enjoyed being with her. She was an institution. She was the
kind of person you will always remember. "Anytime you went into
her office she had a remark or a funny story. She enjoyed the
people she worked with. She knew something about all her
students. She's worthy of a lot of respect."............A eulogy
delivered at her funeral Tuesday summed up her life very
well..."Fay Evilsizer was a woman whose life literally touched
the lives of thousands of others."
