They had two more children over the next 10 years, Rebecca Jean and Darcy Ann. Evelyn worked as an area coordinator for Motorola Semi conductors for 25 years. After a quick year at Microrel, she retired as a homemaker and full time grandma. She enjoyed
her grandchildren and great grandchildren and extended family over the next 30 years. She also enjoyed her travels to Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico and trips to see other family members in Texas, Oklahoma, California and Seattle with her husband whenever possible.
