She skied for 45 years until she was 85.  They loved camping via motorhome and vacationed in most of the 50 states including two trips to Alaska.  Many fond memories with her 5 children and their families were had over holidays, events, and vacations.  Evelyn loved to decorate her home, beautiful flowers, a good joke, reading, long talks, and she never missed sending a card to those she loved.
