Evelyn Endris Bertrand

Evelyn Endris Bertrand, 86, left this world in Biloxi, MS to join her Heavenly Father on October 23, 2024.

 Mrs. Bertrand was born in Biloxi, MS on January 23, 1938, spent most of her life in Biloxi and was a 1955 graduate of Sacred Heart Academy. Although her primary role was as wife, mother, and homemaker, she spent 16 years working for the 403rd Division of the Air Force Reserves (Hurricane Hunters) at Keesler Air Force Base. She was a devout catholic and a steadfast member of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church where she previously volunteered in their St. Vincent de Paul organization and brought the Holy Eucharist to those who were unable to attend mass. For her service to the Catholic Church, and Our Lady of Fatima in particular, she received an Apostolic Blessing from His Holiness John Paul II.

 Mrs. Bertrand is preceded in her death by her husband of 61 years, Velia Bertrand.

Her survivors include her daughter, Laura (Mark) Singleton; her sons, Rodney (Brenda) Bertrand, Russell (Kathleen) Bertrand, and Wayne (Tracey) Bertrand; 9 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church on Monday, October 28, 2024 at 11:00 am. Friends may begin visitation starting at 10:00 am. Interment will follow at Biloxi National Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations be made in Mrs. Bertrand’s memory to the St. Vincent de Paul at Our Lady of Fatima Church. Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
