Evelyn Agnes Hindman

Evelyn Agnes (Graczyk) Hindman passed away Tuesday, September 1, 2015 at Rooks County Health Center in Plainville, Kansas at the age of 90. She was born on April 19, 1925 in Brady, Nebraska to the late Stanley and Antonio (Kosmiski) Graczyk. She was united in marriage to Lee Hindman on October 15, 1946 in Denver, Colorado. They were blessed with one son, Charlie. Evelyn was a hardworking woman who always wanted to be a farmer’s wife until she found out she had allergies. However, not one to be dissuaded, she took up quilting with the church ladies, sewed her own clothing, and was the quintessential collector, with pin, doll, coffee cup, salt & pepper shakers, and angel collections. Education was important to Evelyn, and she put hers to use as a tax advisor. Later she worked as an accountant, preparing taxes for people and spent many years running the Star Motel in Stockton, Kansas. She was a member of the Altar Society and Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Plainville, Kansas. Evelyn is survived by her grandchildren Tamie Hindman of Plainville, and Chuck Hindman of Hays; great-grandchildren Kristen Brummer, Autumn Hindman, and Alana Hindman; and five great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents Stanley and Antonio Graczyk, husband Lee Hindman, son Charles “Charlie” S. Hindman, brother Raymond Graczyk, and sister Alice Graczyk. Evelyn was a woman of deep faith, abiding hope, and unconditional love. She was an inspiration to friends and family alike, especially her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She leaves a legacy that will not be forgotten and will continue to impact the lives of those she loved most for generations to come.
