Evelyn was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and golfer. Later in life, she cared for her husband, Bill, as he suffered through several years of Alzheimer's.

Evelyn truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures. She loved talking with friends and family, eating chocolate and spending time with the people she loved, mostly her granddaughter. Her friendship and kindness gave her an unusual ability to reach people in a deep and positive way. She was a very kind hearted person that was always looking for opportunities to serve family, friends and neighbors that developed relationships that were lasting and special. Evelyn will be truly missed by all that knew her.
