After retiring, Evelyn and James spent their winters with their family in Mesa, Arizona where they made many friends playing dominos and bingo.
Evelyn enjoyed baking her famous pies, crocheting, and catching up with friends and family for hours at a time on the phone. She loved her grandchildren and would talk about them nonstop with anyone that would listen. After her husband passed away in 2006, the Centerville 6th Ward became a very important part of her life. She loved her home teachers, visitors, and neighbors.
Evelyn spent the last few years residing at Barton Creek, making friends with the staff and residents alike. The family would like to thank everyone at Barton Creek for all their love and care.
