Born in Yankton, S.D., in 1907, she moved to Houston with her family in 1917. Earning a B.A. from Rice University and an M.Ed. from the University of Houston, she taught the next 34 years in Houston and Pasadena, Texas school districts. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Rotary, and Pasadena (Texas) Retired Teachers. Evelyn traveled extensively to Europe, Canada, Mexico and the Orient and enjoyed weekly bridge at the Pasadena Senior Center.
An April memorial party is planned in Houston. We will send her off in a social way that she would have loved.
