Evelyn was born December 7, 1928 in Nimrod, the daughter, of Hugh Herbert and Myrtle (Schlarbum) Hughes. After school, Evelyn worked in a nursery and greenhouse in Wadena. Evelyn overcame many obstacles in life and as a result she was courageous, independent and resilient. She liked to crochet and quilt. She loved horses, flower gardening and the outdoors - but most of all she loved her family. She cherished time spend with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. And her true friends were close to her heart.

She will be missed by her daughters, Sharon Lewis, Deb Franklin, and Pennie Heaton; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; sister; son; son-in-law; grandson; and great-granddaughter.
