Evelyn began her school years at Green Horn where she walked a couple miles to school. She then went to Blissfield School and graduated from Killbuck High School at the age of 16.

Evelyn was a cancer survivor since the age of 34. She began cooking at Clark School in 1943 until the school closed, then went to Millersburg ending her tenure at West Holmes High School as head cook in 1981.
Evelyn was a member of Doughty Valley Garden Club and Clark Grange, when they decided to build a building for Grange meetings. In order to pay for the building, the ladies cooked and served meals at the building and also served food at the Holmes County Fair. She had a workshop teaching young women how to make pie crust. Then the Hilltop Race Track needed someone to run their concession stand, for one weekend the members served food at both places.
Evelyn was a member of the Clark Presbyterian Church where she played the organ. She was instrumental in planning the church Bazaar. She sang Bass with the Sweet Adelines and served as an officer. Evelyn loved to travel, she traveled throughout the United States all 50 and took three trips to Europe. Evelyn drove her car until age 99. She always worked hard and didn't think highly of those who didn't.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.
The family wants to thank GreenRidge for the great care she had, Pomerene Hospital and Dr. Latouf for the care while there, and Sycamore Run for the short time there, and to Hospice for helping the family by being there for her.
