Evelyn M. Griffin

Evelyn M. Griffin, 93, of Willow Grove, PA, died peacefully on March 17, 2025, surrounded by her family.  Born on April 18, 1931, in Scranton, PA to Frank and Mary Hopkins.  Evelyn was one of ten children.  She graduated from Technical High School and began a long career at Prudential Insurance Company of America.

Evelyn is survived by her daughters Patty DiGiacomo (Mark), Mary Anne Griffin and Jeanette Griffin.   She was also a proud and cherished “Gammy” to her grandchildren, Jason Davis (Hollie), Shaina Quiring (Ian), Matthew DiGiacomo, Cailin Speake (Jack), her great grandchildren, Caden and Carson Davis, Liam and Landen Quiring.   She is survived by her daughter in laws, Beth Sudduth (Tom) and Ellen Davis. Evelyn is also survived by her brother Bob (Jeanne) Hopkins and countless loving nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her devoted son, Michael Davis, her loving husband, Jim Griffin and 8 siblings Kay, Marge, Leo (“Bud”), Nan, Frank (“Buck”), Vince (“Barney”), Claire, and Marilyn.

Evelyn loved to bake, garden, travel and entertain family and friends at home.  Faith was very important to her.  She loved spending time with her grandchildren.  Evelyn was a passionate sports fan:  Eagles, Phillies, and Villanova basketball.  Throughout her life, she loved dogs especially her “grand-dog” Buddy, the neighborhood dogs and the pet therapy visit from Abby during her last hospital stay Jefferson Abington.  There are no words to describe how much her outgoing personality, optimism, and zest for life will be missed.  She was absolutely “one-of-a-kind” and will leave a huge void in many lives.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her visitation on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, from 9 am – 10:45am, followed by her Funeral Mass at 11 am at St. David’s Roman Catholic Church, 316 N. Easton Road, Willow Grove, PA.
