Evelyn was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary Post 345 and Daughters of Isabella Circle 810, both of Fort Recovery.

She was known for being the backbone of her family and was always around for each and everyone of them. She loved to provide for her family by co-managing the family farm, gardening and canning. Bowling became a hobby throughout her life, however, in later years you would find her sewing and playing cards.
