Evelyn had several passions in her life. A few that stood out to her family and friends was her love of sports and food.  Evelyn would cheer on her hometown teams in Detroit, Arizona, and Kansas City. She would tell you she made the best armchair manager, questioning the moves made by every manager and coach.  Wherever she resided, she would make time to watch the local baseball, football, and basketball teams.

Evelyn was a foodie! She could recall and recite many of her favorite meals over the years. Her family and friends were always amazed at her ability to recollect memories that revolved around family, friends, and food.  The way she would describe her meals incorporating the word "delicious" became her trademark.  Evelyn loved traveling to Las Vegas.
