In loving memory of Yvonne (Evie) Cummins who sadly passed away on 11th May 2026. A beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt and friend to so many.
Evie was more widely known as a Murray, a Pearce or a Slater, but we managed to make her a Cummins, something she was determined would happen, before she passed.
Evie was diagnosed mid-March with a rare form of cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, which unfortunately is one which has no obvious symptoms, so tragically is all too often incurable and untreatable by the time it is detected. Such was the case with Evie. Sadly Alex and I had so little time with her after she was diagnosed.
We have been overwhelmed and truly humbled by the messages of condolence we have received. They all talk of Evie with huge respect and love as a wonderful and inspiring woman who leaves a void in their lives, both personal and professional in equal measure. She is greatly missed.
The funeral will be at Kent and Sussex crematorium in Tunbridge Wells at 11:30 on Thursday 18th June, and afterwards at the Nevill Golf Club.
If anyone wants to pay their respects to Evie but can't be with us on the day, the funeral service will be streamed online at https://watch.obitus.com/login/rsudyr (username juxu4302, password 599495). This link will allow you to live stream from around 11:25 on the 18th, then it will be available again to watch on catch up / on demand from around 20th June for 28 days.
If you can, dress bright and casual - no sea of black please.
No flowers please but donations can be made to AMMF, the Cholangiocarcinoma Charity...a JustGiving link is on this page. The charity’s colour is purple so if you have anything purple, why not wear it?
There is an area on this page where you can pay your condolences and leave memories. There's also an area to upload photos - Evie was notoriously camera-shy so if anyone has any photos Alex and I would love to see them.
Please use the Attendance tab on the obituary to let us know if you are able to attend the funeral.
Thank you, Paul and Alex xx
Rest in peace my beautiful darling. Alex and I miss you so much, every single day without you hurts like nothing else on earth. We'd give anything to have one more day with you, to hear your voice, to see your smile, to hear you laugh...so many people have said they will always remember your smile and your laughter. Love always xxx
Dear Evie,you were such a lovely lady that we were so happy that you joined our family. We will remember you in our hearts for ever. Rest in peace xxx
In memory of Evie Cummins. An awesome role model and kind friend.

Toasting Evie on this sad as we say farewell. So many memories - Rx
Miss you sis xx
In memory of a wonderful colleague.
In loving memory of Evie.
I was deeply saddened by the loss of such a beautiful friend and colleague. Evie was one of the kindest and most generous people I have known. At a time when I was hoping to rejoin the workforce, she offered me encouragement, support and friendship, for which I will always be grateful.
It is hard to comprehend how quickly cholangiocarcinoma took her from those who loved her. She will be remembered for her warmth, strength and kindness, and she will be greatly missed.
My thoughts are with Paul and Alex during this incredibly difficult time.
With love,
Mary xx
You will be missed Evie. Our thoughts are with Paul, Alex and all your family.

I am not sure I can put into words as well as the picture I attach can capture... Evie was a fun loving soul who I firstly knew as a respected colleague but soon become a good friend. We bonded over our scouse humour and love for a glass of fizz or 2. We spent many an hour discussing her Italian dreams and plans. You will be truly missed by me and many. Rest in peace now xx
