She accepted Christ as her Savior under the leadership of the late Rev. John Goodlow at the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church and remained a faithful member until graduating college and moving to Benton Harbor Michigan. She remained there until she was called home.

She is preceded in death by her parents and three sisters:

During her time in Grady, Evelyn was active in the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, singing and directing the choir. She was also a member of the County and local 4-H Club where she learned many skills and had big fun. She had a great love of cooking and eating as well. She returned to Grady often, especially to attend family and Grady Schools Biennial Reunion.

She joined the Second Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Donald Adkins after re-locating to Benton Harbor where she also sang and directed the choir.
