Ms. Evelyn Moore Helms Harward died Monday, February 27, 2023, at the age of 79. Evelyn was born on March 17, 1943 in Badin, N.C., to Bill and Juanita Moore.

She was a member of the Class of 1961 at Badin High School. She graduated from Cabarrus School of Nursing and was a career registered nurse, a fitting profession given her love of helping others. Evelyn married Worth Helms in 1971, with whom she had her only son, Trey. She later married Bill Harward in 1981. She loved spending time with her family and friends. Evelyn was a loving wife and mother, but it was apparent to all who knew her that she truly blossomed when she became “Gigi” to her two adoring grandchildren, Worth M. Helms IV and Lily Braxton Helms. She loved spending time eating ice cream on the front porch followed by a rousing game of hide-and-go-seek, hosting spend the nights, and spoiling them with love and goodies.

She is survived by son Worth “Trey” M. Helms III (Cameron); grandchildren Worth M. Helms IV and Lily Braxton Helms; sisters, Becky Moore Misenheimer and Elaine Moore; brother, Jim Moore; nieces, Sandy Pelot (Ted), Ashley Misenheimer (Christian), and Donna Misenheimer Wimbish (Ernie); nephews Carson Misenheimer and Jamie Moore (Heather); and numerous great nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Bill and Juanita Moore.

A memorial service followed by a graveside committal will be held at 2 p.m. The family will receive friends following the service in the Fellowship Hall.
