Evaline Vier, 91

Evaline Wilma Gregerson Vier passed away peacefully on Dec. 7 in Austin, Texas. She was 91 years old.

She was born to Hope Norton Gregerson and Edward Gregerson in Ellsworth, Wis., on Dec. 30, 1919, the oldest of six children. She married Arnold Vier on April 17, 1942, who passed away in June of 1973. They lived in Hudson, Wis., where they raised their three children. She moved to Austin in 1977 to be near her son and his family.

Evaline was an excellent seamstress from an early age. In Austin, she was employed by London Fabrics for 17 years, becoming one of their longest-term employees.

Evaline enjoyed people and nothing gave her more pleasure than socializing with friends. She especially enjoyed children and took great joy in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Having survived many physical challenges through the years, she remained resilient. She lived independently until recent months, involved with her family and friends until the last. She was a much loved mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.

Evaline was predeceased by her parents, husband, one brother, and two sisters.

She is survived by her sister Laurel Nelson; brother Galen Gregerson and wife, Jean; her son, James Vier, and wife, Jeanne; daughter Judith Ferguson and husband, Charles; daughter Nancy Gilbert and husband, Douglas; grandchildren: James Gregg Vier Jr. and wife, Julie; Bradford Vier and wife, Jennifer; Molly Gilbert, M.D., and husband, Kevin Bolash; Emily Gilbert Larsen and husband, Brian Larsen, M.D.; great-grandchildren, Evan and Grayson Vier, Max Beck, and Penelope Larsen.
