Former Kansas Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Wilson, 66, has died after battling ALS.

Former Kansas Supreme Court Justice Evelyn Wilson, age 66, died Saturday following a battle with ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Wilson served on the highest court from 2020 to July 2025, when she resigned after her diagnosis.

Chief Justice Eric Rosen said in a statement Saturday on behalf of the court that Wilson “faced her illness with optimism and great courage.”
