On June 22, 1958, she married her late husband, Eugene Bills, I, at Wardsboro Methodist Church. Evelyn was a house wife and mother for most of her life. She began working when the children started school and over the years was employed at Grace Cottage Hospital, Wardsboro Country Store, Wardsboro Credit Union and various other odd jobs to help the family. For over 20 years she worked as a substitute mail carrier for the Wardsboro area. She loved working in her flower gardens and bowling with her daughter and grandchildren for over 15 years. She also enjoyed making and decorating cakes, especially wedding cakes, doing crossword puzzles, and cherished time with her beloved dogs.
