Julia Mae Huneycutt Evans' Obituary
Julia Mae Huneycutt Evans, 82, of Oakboro, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Trinity Place in Albemarle.
A celebration of her life will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday at Big Lick Baptist Church with Pastor Jeff Springer officiating. Burial will follow in Oakboro Cemetery. The family will receive friends at the church from 11:30 AM until 12:30 PM, prior to the service.
Born November 14, 1942, in Stanly County, she was the daughter of the late Alfred N. Huneycutt and Rettie Ann Huneycutt Huneycutt. Julia was a lifelong member of Big Lick Baptist Church and a retired Bank Teller Supervisor with Wells Fargo in Locust.
Her family remembers her as a faithful Christian-loving, feisty, and fiercely independent. She had a welcoming spirit and a deep affection for animals, especially her beloved canine companion, Layla Su. Julia cherished her daily time in Scripture, reading through her Bible each year as her health allowed. She loved Christian music and found great comfort in her faith. Her favorite poem was "Crossing the Bar" by Tennyson, a reflection of her quiet confidence in the life beyond this one.
Julia was also known for her strong convictions-both religious and political-and for her deep connection to her church community, especially her beloved Senior Ladies Sunday School Class at Big Lick Baptist.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James D. Evans and a brother Maurice Huneycutt. Those left to cherish her memory include her son, Jamey T. Evans of Locust; grandchildren Cameron Evans and Olivia Evans, both of Locust; two sisters, Janette Trull (Olin) of Monroe and Susan H. Flowe (Mitchell) of Wadesboro; sister-in-law Lora Huneucytt of Oakboro as well as many nieces and nephews who adored her.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.org) or the ASPCA (www.aspca.org), organizations close to her heart.
