The matriarch of the family, Evelyn was happiest when she was surrounded by people. She loved to talk and joke with everyone she came in contact with, sometimes striking up a conversation with people at the grocery store, as she did her daily shopping, or while she was stopping at the dollar store for goodies. Evelyn worked for over 50 years at Concordia University, from the early days when it was an all men’s college in Milwaukee, to the new campus in Mequon. There are countless students and faculty whose lives Evelyn touched with a kind word of encouragement, small gesture of kindness or uplifting their spirits with a funny comment. Evelyn would often stay after her shift was over so she could talk to students and coworkers. She became such a cure for anxiety and a source for advice and care that the university decided to name its SMART (Stress Management And Resiliency Training) Lab in her honor, calling it “Evelyn’s Place.” Evelyn showed that same care and love for her family and adopted many along the way, making everyone in her circle feel safe and loved. Whether she was sitting on the front porch with her best friend Johnnie Mae watching the neighborhood happenings or checking on her great-great- grandsons, when Evelyn loved you, you knew it. Rest easy, and we’ll all drink a Bloody Mary in your honor.
