Elizabeth Morgan Eaton was born December 28, 1936, in Bryn Mawr, PA, a daughter of Benjamin Esler Eaton and Helen Scattergood Ring Eaton. She married Richard Virdin Evans on June 28, 1958, in Swarthmore, PA. They lived in Michigan, California, and Ohio, before settling in Champaign, IL. She graduated from Upper Darby High School in Upper Darby, PA and Hood College in Frederick, MD, majoring in French. She was a stay at home mom for many years. Later, she worked as a substitute teacher in Unit 4 schools in Champaign, miscellaneous positions at Carle Hospital, and as a sales associate at Le Gourmet. She and her husband spent many happy summers on their island in Lake Temagami, Ontario, Canada. During those summers she spent many hours creating quilts by hand piecing and hand quilting as well as hosting craft days for neighboring islanders to create arts and crafts and have a potluck lunch. Whizzie truly enjoyed supporting her husband Dick as he coached, and the entire Lacrosse club team at the University of Illinois. She helped keep the clock, washed the jerseys, provided snacks for the team, traveled to away games, braved the weather of a fall sport, accompanied players to the hospital for injuries sustained during games, and celebrated after the games regardless of the outcome. She enjoyed all people and everyone was welcome in her home. She was a member of Illini Country Stitchers (ICS) quilt guild, Heartland Quilters, and Loose Threads. She enjoyed the creative process of making primarily landscape quilts by hand. One special year, she won 5 first place ribbons at the ICS quilt show! She attended Emmanuel Memorial Episcopal Church of Champaign. Whizzie was an "honorary" member of the Resort and Commercial Recreation Association (RCRA) and attended many of the annual conventions with her daughter Sally. Whizzie was always proud of and delighted with her amazing grandchildren.
