Born in Saxis, VA on January 22, 1929, Mary was a daughter of the late Everett and Virginia (Bailey) Miles. A graduate of Longwood College in Virginia, she worked as a high school teacher in Denton, Maryland before making her home at Wilmington Manor school in New Castle, Delaware, where she taught second grade for over thirty years. Mary was a doting mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, as well as a loving friend, colleague and role model. Fondly known as “Sugy” to her grandchildren, Mary loved attending family gatherings, and played an active role in every part of her grandchildren’s lives. She enjoyed frequent trips to the Dollar Tree, Friday afternoons at the Farmer’s Market with “the girls”, bragging about her grandchildren to everyone she met, and telling anecdotes about her hometown, Saxis. Most of all, Mary’s kind nature and zest for life was an inspiration to all who knew her. Mary’s father summed it up best in a letter he wrote to her many years ago when he said, “I am without words to explain how much I love you. You are something like your darling mother. Someone said God patterned her after his best woman.” In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her first husband and father of her children, John F. Evans; son, John F. Evans II; and her recent husband, James Draper. She is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth Singleton (Paul) of New Castle, DE; her granddaughters, Frances Leary (Travis) of Newark, DE, and Michelle Schoen (Jeff) of New Castle, DE; and her great grandchildren, Mackenzie, Alex, Maddie and Wyatt.

John Frederick Evans II1
M, b. 26 July 1957, d. 9 April 2017
| Birth* | 26 July 1957 | John was born on 26 July 1957 at Wilmington, New Castle Co, DE. |
| Death* | 9 April 2017 | He died on 9 April 2017 at New Castle, DE, at age 59. John F. Evans II, age 59, of New Castle, DE passed away peacefully in his home on Sunday, April 9, 2017. Born in Wilmington on July 26, 1957, John was the son of the late Johnnie F. Evans, Sr. and Mary E. (Miles) Draper. He was a graduate of Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA. John taught English at Girard College for 15 years, and was a dedicated 17 year employee at AIG Insurance in Wilmington where he currently worked in the pension department. John is survived by his mother, Mary E. Draper; sister, Elizabeth Singleton (Paul) of New Castle; nieces, Michelle Schoen (Jeff) of New Castle and Frances Leary (Travis) of Newark; great nieces and nephew, Mackenzie Welch and Alexander and Madeline Schoen; neighbor and lifelong family friend, Mary Bassett. John was a loving, doting son to his mother, taking care of her every need. As a brother and uncle, John was willing to lend a helping hand, along with his advice, that was usually delivered with a dose of quick wit and clever sarcasm. As a beloved great uncle, he was always good for a game of Uno or Buzzword, a handmade blanket, or a hug. His many artistic talents, culinary skills, and keen eye for turning a fleamarket find into a treasure, along with his affinity for answering every Final Jeopardy question correctly, will go unmatched in his family. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. A visitation for family and friends will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2017, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 1000 N. DuPont Parkway, New Castle, DE from 10:00 am until 11:00 am followed by a funeral service at 11:00 am. Interment will be held privately.
