Edwin and Evelyn traveled extensively to many countries including Australia and New Zealand for their 40th wedding anniversary, England, the Panama Canal and across the United States.
Evelyn enjoyed gardening, flowers, cooking for her grandkids. She was a garage sale junkie, had an extensive doll and unicorn collection, as well as many shoes. She looked forward to each Saturday when she got her hair done. She was a classy, prim and proper lady.
