Born in Conyers, GA, Evergene Ayers was a resident of the Decatur area for most of her life; with the last 10 years of her residency at The Presbyterian Village of Austell, GA. She was a graduate of Atlanta Girls High School and the Greenleaf Business College of Atlanta. She was a faithful, dedicated, loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was an avid dancer in everything from jitterbug in her youth to square dancing in later years. She was a lover of people and enjoyed membership since a young adult in the "J.U.G.
