Evelyn also had many joys in life including her love of growing flowers, hosting large family dinners and travel with her husband Donald. For most of her life, Evelyn attended Refuge Christian Church.  Later she worshipped at Bethel Lutheran Church with her son Mike and family. However, her greatest joy in life was the time she spent with her family, who will all miss her very much.
