Benjamin Edward "Ted" Evans, 87, of Orangeburg, SC, passed away peacefully on March 26,
2025. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 60 years, Mary "M.C." Evans, and is
survived by his three daughters, Marcy Evans Wohlford (Mike), Molly Evans Tulowitzky (Jeff),
and Jenny Evans Smith (Jim).
Ted was born in Canon City, Colorado and grew up in Johnson, Kansas. Ted and “M.C.” met at
their best friends’ wedding, had a long distance relationship between South Carolina and
Michigan and soon married and settled in Orangeburg. Ted had a long and fulfilling career as a
chemical engineer at Ethyl/Albemarle Corporation. A loving father, Ted dedicated many hours
to supporting his daughters, cheering them on at their sports events and raising them to be
strong, independent women. He made sure each of his girls knew how to hammer a nail and
saw a board, and he enjoyed them working alongside him on home improvement projects. Ted
loved playing golf with “M.C.”, watching sports, creating spreadsheets on his computer and
flipping through TV channels in search of another game to watch. Ted also enjoyed the
fellowship and camaraderie of both his Sunday School class and his men's breakfast group.
Ted was actively involved at First Presbyterian Church of Orangeburg for over 55 years, serving
as a deacon and elder. His commitment to serving his church family and the community were a
cornerstone of his life.
Ted’s love for family extended to his grandchildren, Haley Wohlford Morgan (Garrett), Mallory
Wohlford Guevara (Austin), Reid Tulowitzky (Ashton), Graham Tulowitzky, and Merritt
Tulowitzky, as well as his great-grandchildren, Lilah and Julia Morgan. From crabbing off the
dock with them as young children to sitting across the card table with them as young adults, he
fostered a legacy of love, faith, and dedication.
