Evelyn was a woman of strong Catholic faith and prayed for all of us daily. She enjoyed family, vacations, birthday parties, and holidays and normally stayed to the end. Traveling to multiple destinations nationally and internationally was something she loved to share stories about.  She also enjoyed dancing and playing games (cards). She was always there for us in times of need. She was a member of a girls’ club from 1st grade and stayed in contact with them until the end. Mom worked for Red Owl Foods and spent endless hours volunteering for Sharing & Caring Hands. She will be remembered and missed by all.
