Throughout her adult life she was employed by Strasburg Bank, Slaymaker Lock Company, Buchwalter Construction and retired from Glenn S. Breidenstine DDS after 20 years of service. Her joys in life were spending time with her children, reading, gardening, creating greeting cards and having regularly scheduled breakfast outings with her best friends. She was a sweet, quiet woman with a quick wit and a feisty streak that could take you by surprise. During one of their last visits, Rick and Gayle were talking about Christmas coming up. Gayle said that Rick needed to think of something he needed for her mom to get him. When he replied that he didn't need anything at all, right on cue, Evelyn got a little devilish grin and she suggested "Well, you DO need a haircut. " And she wasn't wrong. The last two years of her life were spent doing puzzles, drawing and coloring and enjoying the fellowship of other residents at St. Anne's Retirement Community. She was safe and secure there and was able to spend time growing even closer to her sister Sylvia.
