Neil C. Evans Sr.
Neil C. Evans Sr., 84, died Thursday, June 19, 2008, in Lexington as a result of a motor vehicle accident.
Mr. Evans was born Aug. 21, 1923 in the Arcadia community in Davidson County to the late Ellard Pierce and Ida Jones Evans. He grew up working on his family’s farm, going to school in Welcome. He attended Appalachian State on a football scholarship where he met Betsy Nooe Harris. They were married in August 1942. Soon after marriage, he joined the U.S. Army where he served in the 153rd Anti-aircraft battalion of the 13th Airborne Division at Camp Mackall. His interest in the paratroops came about from admiration of his cousin, Gen. Robert Sink of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment. He received glider wings, parachute wings, trained as a medic and was promoted to sergeant during training. His unit captured a black bear that became the mascot. The bear was carried up in the C47s with the other paratroops and made several jumps before they were ordered to release it to the wild. While in Europe, he was recruited to be Allied Airborne liaison to one of the French Underground units and served with British and Polish units. He was in the 82nd Airborne Division and returned home with the 82nd division to New York. He was soon transferred back to the 13th Airborne Division in anticipation of the invasion of Japan which never occurred due to the use of the atomic bomb. After discharge from the Army, he worked as a traveling salesman and then at Grimes Mill in Lexington. Later, he worked as warehouse supervisor at Siceloff Manufacturing until it closed in the late 1960s. At the time of his retirement, he worked for Byrd Motor Lines. He enjoyed people and never forgot his co-workers, neighbors and friends. Whenever anyone needed help, he was there for them. For the past six years he has been the caretaker of his invalid wife.
Survivors: his wife of 66 years, Betsy; son, Neil C. Evans Jr. and wife, Anne P. Evans of Bennett; son, Dr. James H. (Jim) Evans and wife, Melinda I. Evans of Mocksville; and daughter, Elizabeth A. (Libby) Evans of Chapel Hill; 5 grandchildren; 3 great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
