Evelyn Figueroa

Our beloved was born Evelyn Resto on June 9, 1960 to Irma

Villanueva and the late Robert Resto Sr. She married the love

of her life Angel Figueroa and that love resulted in her greatest

blessing Rebekah. Evelyn returned to the Loving Arms of the

Lord at the age of 59, on Monday, October 14, 2019. She was

a long time resident of Bridgeport. Evelyn was a graduate of

Harding High School and pursued a music degree from South

Eastern Bible College in Lakeland, Florida. For twenty-four

years, she was employed at People’s United Bank where she

collaborated as a mortgage closer.

She was a true believer in Jesus Christ and exemplified him in

every aspect of her life. Evelyn’s musical talent allowed her to

serve God and her church as music/choir director for many

years. She had an exceptional voice, which she used to worship

her faithful God. Not only was she passionate about music but

also family and friends. Evelyn’s strength was an example of her

faith. Her laughter and silliness was contagious and often

displayed even in those difficult moments of her life. Her

resilience was admirable!

She will be remembered with love and sorely missed by all who

knew her. Evelyn is the loving and caring sister of Robert Resto

Jr., Daniel Resto, Diana Bernard and Elizabeth Resto. She is

“Titi” Evelyn to Celeste Bernard, Valerie Bernard, Johnathan

Resto, Yahir Resto, Jason Resto, Kayslee Resto the twins

Noemi and Junior Bernard and Savannah Resto.

Although Evelyn will be greatly missed, our comfort is that she

is now in a place free from heartache and disease. She left us

full of memories, with a song in our lips and the hope of a

better tomorrow in Christ.

To God Be the Glory!
