Evelyn was born March 27, 1922 in Albuquerque, NM, where her family moved after her father was injured in World War I. After his passing, Evelyn moved back to Holgate, OH with her mother and sister, where she grew up surrounded by her mother’s extended family. Her earliest recollections were of farm life, gathering berries in the woods with her grandmother, and watching her uncles make dandelion wine.
Evelyn graduated from Toledo School of Nursing in 1944. Soon after, she enlisted in the Army Nurse Corps and served during World War II, until her honorable discharge in 1946. She then attended Case Western Reserve and earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing, in 1948. In 1950 she was recalled to active duty during the Korean War, and was assigned to a surgical unit in Germany. She was honorably discharged a second time in 1953. She then began working toward an advanced degree, earning a Master’s of Nursing Administration in 1955 from Wayne State University.
