Evelyn graduated from Bishop Forest High School in 1967. Growing up in Schulenburg, she was active in Girl Scouts and 4-H.

She enjoyed photography and nature with a particular interest in flowers and butterflies. Evelyn was an organizer and manager in her home as well as in her job and community activities.
