She touched countless lives with her loving and caring nature. Evelyn always lived life to the fullest and loved spending time outdoors. She loved motorcycling, snow skiing, water skiing, hiking, working in her yard, chopping wood and using her chainsaw. When she was finally sitting down, she loved crocheting and doing jigsaw puzzles. Evelyn was an excellent cook. She also enjoyed just visiting with her friends and loved ones. Evelyn has done so much for so many people that it would be impossible to list every life she touched. When they say someone has a heart of gold, that was Evelyn. She was always quick with a smile and that knowing twinkle in her eye. Evelyn was a feisty, warm and cheerful soul. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and most of all friend. She will be forever in our hearts.
