She was a homemaker; had an independent postal route; and managed the office at Car-vets Sales and Service in Waterloo, which she owned with her husband, until they retired in 1994.

She is survived by four sons: Larry of Cedar Falls, Douglas of Waterloo, Bret of Frederika, and Stuart (Angie) of Dunkerton; 16 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; and one brother, Norman (Greta) Boike of Waterloo.

Evelyn was an amazing cook. Whether you were good or bad you always got dessert. She always put family first before her own needs; was on top of her game, doing crosswords, sudoku, and the ultimate champion at wheel of fortune. She taught us so much and will live on in all of us.
