Evelyn loved traveling and experiencing new cultures and cuisines. City tours, architectural tours, ghost tours, historic sites, natural landscapes, museums, folkloric presentations, and of course shopping were in the itinerary when visiting new places. Her favorite times were spent with friends and family. Professionally Evelyn was a special education teacher in the south suburbs before teaching in Los Angeles.

Always kind, humorous, giving, and caring she exemplified what a good person should be. The world is greatly diminished with her passing. She will be truly missed. There will be no funeral or service. A memorial service will be held once things open up again.
