When Evelyn was 15, she became attracted to her new, 18-year-old school bus driver named Milo Dean Bowen from Driggs, Idaho.

Evelyn graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree in home economics.
She was proficient in teaching high school English, home economics and interior design, and was often asked to commute to Ricks College to teach specialized wardrobe color classes.
Homemaking was a passion of Evelyn's.
She was an exceptional seamstress and even sewed her own wedding dress!
She loved gardening and spent the bulk of her summer days caring for her large vegetable garden and flower gardens.
Together, Milo and Evelyn were active, lifelong members in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where they found joy in serving the Lord in their various callings.
Evelyn served a Church mission with Milo in the Family HIstory Center in SLC, and after Milo's passing, she served a mission in the office of the California Long Beach Mission.

Bean - Victor, Idaho), Diana Freeman (Ray - Ellensburg, Washington), Michael Bowen (Araly - Colorado Springs, Colorado), and Robert Bowen (Anita - Orem, Utah).
