Gloria Ann

Evans

Gloria Ann Evans, 82, of Frederick, Md., formerly of Richmond, suddenly departed this life on August 8, 2026, to be with her Heavenly Father. She was born on January 2, 1944, in Richmond, Virginia to Clyde Marks, Sr. and Josie Quarles Marks.

In her early years, she attended Van de Vyver Catholic School and graduated from Cathedral High School in Richmond. She went on to study at Virginia State University, where she met the love of her life, Louis Evans, Jr. They married on April 18, 1964 and built a life together rooted in love, laughter and family devotion, welcoming four children along the way. She and Louis dedicated 54 years of their lives together in marriage before his passing on December 12, 2018. Through thick and thin, good times and bad times, they set a strong example of commitment.

To her family, Gloria was the ultimate anchor – a devoted wife, a loving mother and a proud grandmother and great-grandmother who was affectionately known as "Grammy." She was also a caring daughter, a supportive sister and a compassionate friend. She always ended her day listening to Scripture and grounding herself in the comfort of God's Word. Those who knew her remember her overwhelming kindness, humility, deep love for her family and beautiful smile. She was always ready to help someone in need and gave generously. A champion of fun and a lover of games, her playful banter and competitive spirit turned every family game night into an unforgettable, laughter-filled memory. She was a master of playful trash talk and an avid sports enthusiast who enjoyed playing games and keeping up with sports, especially tennis, football, basketball and track.

In addition to her parents, Gloria was also preceded in death by her husband, Louis Evans, Jr.; son, Louis Evans, III and two brothers, John Quarles (and his wife, Theresa) and Clyde Marks, Jr.

Her legacy of love will live on through those who will deeply miss her, three beloved children, Karol Ingram (Robert), Mark Evans and Darryl Evans; two brothers, Raymond Marks and Charles Marks (Marsha); six grandchildren, Robert Ingram, Jr. (fiancée, Nycol), Taylor Evans, Bryan Ingram (Sadie), Tylar Evans, Aidun Evans and Averee Evans; three great-grandchildren, Elijah Ingram, Lydia Ingram and Kaleb Ingram; loving daughter-in-law, Shelby Evans;  a host of cherished nieces, nephews, other devoted relatives and friends, including her lifelong friend of 71 years, Ruth Clark.

Though she is deeply missed, we find comfort knowing she is now at home in peace with our Heavenly Father.

Remains rest at Scott's Funeral Home, 115 E. Brookland Park Blvd. where viewing will be held from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday, August 17, 2026. Graveside services will be held 1 p.m. Tuesday, August 18 at Forest Lawn Cemetery, 4000 Pilot's Lane, Richmond, VA  23222.

In lieu of cut flowers, the family kindly asks that you consider bringing garden plants or flowering perennials to help create a memorial garden in her honor — a living tribute that will continue to grow and bloom in her memory.
