Evelyn was born in Toledo, OH and raised in Luna Pier, MI. She and her family moved to Las Vegas, NV in 1971. She retired after 18 years with MGM Grand Hotel working in retail and as a theatre usher. Evelyn was a warrior. She survived breast cancer twice, battled other serious health issues – conquering them and finished raising two teenage children on her own. She enjoyed extensive traveling with her sisters which included most states, and at least 3 different continents. Her love of Lighthouses fueled many of her vacations.


In later years she would often spend her summers in Michigan with family. Evelyn loved to dote on her grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
