When their children were young, they moved to Williams Bay Wisconsin. Their retirement included 27 years in Sun City. During those years, Evelyn enjoyed time with her friends as she was a “people person.” Her activities included: sewing, painting, ceramics, and card making to name a few, but her greatest joy was enjoying a cup of coffee with a treat with the people she cared about. Her church Grace Bible brought much joy to her life. She was an avid prayer warrior and lover of God’s word. She also was the glue that held her family together.
