Colleagues, friends and members of Mrs. Anna Evans’ family came to the George Town Landfill for a special memorial service which marked the first year of the 38-year old Department of Environmental Health employee’s disappearance.
Mrs Evans disappeared mysteriously when she was working a normal shift at the landfill. Despite extensive searches, no clues as to what happened to the mother of five have been uncovered.
The landfill was shut for the morning, so that all the colleagues could attend the tent, set up near to the site of her disappearance.
A large poster showing a portrait of Mrs Evans simply read: “Anna Evans, friend, colleague, missing since January 27 2011.”
DEH Director Roydell Carter opened the service by saying: “Today is a sad day for all of us because we have not yet found Anna Evans.”
Mr. Carter spoke highly of Mrs Evans, as an employee, particularly mentioning the friendliness she showed towards colleagues and those visiting the landfill.

“I ask everyone here to be supportive, positive and uplifting towards her family,” he said.
Stressing the efforts that have already been made to find out what happened to Mrs. Evans, Mr. Carter said: “We have searched this landfill over and over, and even excavated it on some occasions.
Mr. Carter then re-iterated the request that has gone out from the police ever since Mrs Evans’ disappearance: “Anyone who has any information, perhaps something they couldn’t remember at the time, should come forward,” he said.
Mr. Clive Bennett sang the gospel song, My Life is in Your Hands:
“You don’t have to worry, and don’t you be afraid, joy comes in the morning, troubles they don’t last always, for there’s a friend named Jesus, who will wipe your tears away.”

Pastor Cassius Feare gave a short sermon. Quoting from the Book of Genesis, he gave the example of how Joseph was lost to his father and family, but how, in the end, God’s guiding hand could be seen amidst the heartbreak.
Leading the guests in a prayer he said: “Lord, somehow in the midst of darkness, trouble and anxiety, we pray your holy presence will give us the direction we need.”
One of Mrs. Evans’ sisters, Noreen Dixon said: “If she had got in an accident, and she had died, you could know what happened. Now we don’t know what happened, we don’t know where, we
know nothing.”
