were unexcelled. Sharing a love of sewing with her mother, Mattie, and her
sister, Ruby, Evelyn was a meticulous seamstress, always elegantly dressed in
her own handiwork. She also loved to needlepoint and crochet and produced items
of great beauty that have become family heirlooms.
Evelyn’s devotion to family was one of her
greatest strengths. As her parents and sister Elouise became ill, Evelyn
unselfishly shared the nursing duties and her home with her surviving sister
Ruby of Tucson. After the deaths of her parents and sister Elouise, Evelyn and
Buell moved from Beaumont, Texas to Tucson in 1982, to be near her surviving
sister and niece. While here in Tucson, gardening became her passion and her
challenge as she successfully tried to make the desert bloom.
Evelyn was a woman of unselfish love and
devotion to her family and friends. Her beautiful soul could be seen in her
eyes and her irresistibly sweet smile. A fighter, she possessed incredible
strength and resisted her last illness as long as she could. She never
complained and greeted everyone with a cheerful smile no matter how badly she
felt.
There is a hole in our hearts now. Ruby will
miss her sweet little sister and Nancy will miss her loving auntie. God keep
her in the bosom of her family in Heaven. We love you little sis!
Funeral service will be held Tuesday, July 26,
2005 at 3:00 p.m. at East Lawn Palms Mortuary, 5801 E. Grant Road.

PAMELA JUANITA ALFORD HODIL
ARIZONA REPUBLIC
Phoenix, Maricopa Co., AZ—Sunday, 15 March 1998
[Written by her mother]
Pamela Juanita Alford Hodil, born August 8,
1941, Died March 4, 1998. “Pam” was born in Chuquicamata, Chile to American
parents having the distinction of dual citizenship. Her father was Chief
Mechanical Engineer in the power plant of Chile Exploration Co., in Tocopilla.
The plant generated electricity for the copper mine in “Chiqui”, 75 miles east
of “Toco” at 10,000 elevation in the mighty Andes. She came into the world
there at the company hospital. The family remained in “Toco” for the duration
of the world war, helping to produce copper for the war effort. Pam attended
schools in Chile, California and Camelback High School in Phoenix. She was in
quality control at Audiotone, an electronics company until it re-located. Later
she worked as a nurses’ aid. She retired in 1994 in order to, with her son
Kenneth, take care of her small grandson Kenny, whom she adored.
Pam was an enigma, a true rebel who danced to a
different drummer, not permitting mere mortals into her private world.
Horses were her great passion. She possessed an
uncanny gift of being as “one” with them. They both spoke the same language.
Her first horse at age eleven was “Copper” a quarter horse, whom she trained to
become a great jumper. She was a “symphony” on horseback, riding in many
parades and winning endless trophies for her fine horsemanship in shows here
and abroad.
Pam’s survivors are her mother Paula Alford, her
sons Harry Jr., and his wife Debbie; Kenneth Sr., and his companion Chris;
sister, Barbara Bolles and her husband Doug; grandson Kenny Jr.; granddaughter
Heather; aunts, uncles and cousins in Calif., Oregon, Hawaii and Alaska; her
ex-husband and father of their sons Harry Hodil Sr.; Bob Moen her long time
associate in equestrian pursuits and Ann Stedwell her friend and mentor since
high school days.
Pam who died of cancer requested a private
service.
Happy Trails to You, and Vaya Con Dios
Mi hija querida.
I love you,
Your Mom

family continue to enjoy the cabin and these life lessons today. In 1968, as a
result of health concerns for her husband, Sam and Virginia retired to Tucson,
