She was filled with the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues on September 27, 2011. In spite of her age and illness, she was a member of the Golden Age Guild. Mother Van Hook loved music she hummed often and could be seen tapping her feet, clapping her hands and singing hymns she knew, in worship services. Little children always brought a smile and a "hello" to her face. Evelyn is survived by 1 daughter, 2 brothers, 10 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren, 1 great-great grandson.
