Justine Mortenson Evans of Farmington Hills, MI, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on March 23, 2025, leaving behind her bereft and loving family: her mother Gail Mortenson of Davidson, NC; father Donald Evans of Washington, DC (Sally); fiance Jason Secretan, also of Farmington Hills; sister Ashley Kellner of Boston (Brendon); brother Eric Evans (Whitney) of Falls Church, VA; and nephews Paxton, Wes, and Grey. In addition, she is survived by many aunts, uncles, and cousins as well as by her stepsisters. Justine faced serious medical issues in her brief 36 years, but with Jason by her side she was thriving and looking forward to her marriage and a joyous life together. She had just completed a course of study through Cornell University's School of Hotel Management and was interviewing for jobs in her new field when she abruptly left us. Everyone who knew Justine will remember her love of fun, her 100-Watt smile, her huge blue eyes, and her love of family and of animals, especially her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Bubba Wick.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held for Justine in Washington, DC, in May (details forthcoming), and a private Celebration of Life for her family members will be held in North Carolina on June 14.
