Evelyn attended St. Stanislaus grade school and graduated from Marymount High School. She became a full-time and dedicated mother upon the birth of her first child. The household was a hive of activity and source of warmth. She found much satisfaction and joy in everyday activities whether it be running the household, baking, decorating, or entertaining. However, she loved nothing more than being in the company of her family.
Evelyn patronized music and the arts. She remained curious and interested in the world. She travelled throughout the States with her family. Later, Evelyn travelled to Europe, the western pacific, Australia and New Zealand with her husband. She was a member of the Christ Child Society of Cleveland for more than 50 years. Her involvement with the chapter was near and dear to her.
