Evelyn attended school in York Co. and later earned her G.E.D. in her 20’s. From the mid-1960’s until the early 1970’s, she worked in the travel trailer industry at Shasta in Leola, PA. In the 1970’s, she began working as a security officer for a couple different local security agencies. She later settled in as a security officer for Wackenhut Security at Warner Lambert Co. (later, Pfizer Co.) in Lititz, PA. She was eventually promoted to Sergeant and worked there until she retired.

During the 1960’s, she enjoyed playing her Martin guitar and eventually taught others to play guitar at the former Beam’s Music Store near Ephrata, PA. She also enjoyed bowling in the Friday Nite Mixed Nuts League in the early 1980’s at the former Lancaster Lanes. Evelyn was known for her “green thumb.” She loved planting and tending flowers around her former residence on Manor Ridge Drive, Lancaster, PA. She also enjoyed observing nature’s creatures, especially eagles. She is now soaring with the eagles.
