Obituary for Evelyn Martha Kobler (Exner)
Evelyn Kobler (nee Evelyn Martha Exner) died peacefully on November 6th, 2020 at Samaritan Hospice (Voorhees) of natural causes.
Evelyn was predeceased by her sister Janice Fry (nee Janice Margaret Exner) of Mt. Laurel, NJ, and her cousin Dottie Lutz of Philadelphia, PA. In addition, Evelyn left behind two nieces, Carol Graham-Toland (Bill Toland) and Elaine Thompson (Cliff Thompson), and two nephews, David Fry (Stephanie Fry) and Robert Fry (Terri Fry). She was formerly married to John Kobler (predeceased) of New York.
Evelyn earned a B.A from Hunter College in New York, and took a variety of courses throughout her years in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
Evelyn spent many years in the publishing industry as an editorial and administrative assistant. Even after retiring, she enthusiastically pursued her artistic endeavors by exploring countless art forms and media. Evelyn’s interest in art, literature, nature, and natural history never wavered; she was truly a life-long learner. Evelyn’s love of the written word ignited her passion for playing Scrabble—in both English and French. Most recently, Evelyn enjoyed spending time with her close friends at Weston Club (Voorhees), which included spirited rounds of Scrabble.
