Cook , in 1964 and together created an amazing family.
She took much pride in working for Cameron Brown and Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance in Raleigh. Evelyn worked diligently until she was in her early eighties, however her most important job was being a wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker.
