Evelyn tended to the family farm with her husband and continued after his passing. They grew a garden and raised tobacco and corn. She would cut and rake hay. She feed and kept watch over the cattle and has been knocked down by steers. She also wrecked anything she drove on the farm, at some time or another, and that is why she never had a driver’s license. She loved to babysit her grandchildren and took them out with her farming.
