They were married for 69 wonderful years. She was a long time resident of Cache Valley where she reared her family. She was an active member of the LDS church and spent her entire life loving and serving her family and many friends. She had a firm testimony of the gospel and of our Savior Jesus Christ. Evelyn was an accomplished seamstress and created beautiful quilts and items of clothing for her family. She also loved to camp and fish with her husband and children. She enjoyed gardening and preserving the food that she grew. But mostly she loved spending time with her loved ones and neighbors. They all enjoyed her wonderful sense of humor. She will be greatly missed by so many. She is survived by her four daughters and one son: Georgann Lothair Thompson, Pamela Gary Kidd, LaDawn Jean Woods, Gaylene Lynn Smith, and Scott Elaine Eppich.
