She was a gracious hostess in her home and enjoyed traveling, sewing and gardening. She thoroughly enjoyed working at the Iowa Veterans Home. With one line, she owned a marvelous ability to sum up a situation. Evelyn came from a long line of sweet, loving, inventive and quick-witted people who kept Jesus at the center of their lives and were a calming, light-hearted force in this world.
