Evaline Sowinski

Evaline Sowinski (nee Carmack), a resident of Clinton Township, passed away on Saturday, November 26, 2022 at the age of 98. A daughter of John and Sophia (nee Markowski), she was born on May 8, 1924 in Detroit. A certified seamstress, Evaline sewed wedding gowns for Zells in downtown Detroit. She said "I do" to Leonard Sowinski on July 11, 1942 in Detroit. Outgoing, witty, and definitely not stubborn, Evaline never hesitated to speak her mind. She was a proper woman who never left her home without her lipstick on. She enjoyed serving tea to her family and friends. Christmas was special to Evaline and she made sure it was always memorable for her children. Evaline added humor to photos by sticking her tongue out at every opportunity. She played bingo and believed that burgers were best served with only one pickle. Evaline was a good mother, even when challenges arose as a young widow. Evaline loved seeing her many grandchildren grow up throughout the years. She loved all of her family deeply. Beloved wife of the late Leonard. Loving mother of MaryLynn (Bill) Garcia of Chesterfield Township and Leigh Ann of Redford Township, and mother-in-law of Sandra of Macomb Township.
