Evelynn loved to garden, plant flowers and can vegetables out of the garden but her greatest love was serving the Lord. She loved bible study, sharing her faith with others and a life of prayer. During worship instead of singing she could often be heard whistling hymns which created a very distinct sound. Put plainly she was a devoted servant of the Lord.

She was preceded in death by her daughter Wendy Sue Ralston and her son William Ray (Bill) Ralston of Hamilton Illinois.
