Evie was a Bridge player, a golfer, a Cub Scout leader and she loved to dance. She was a dedicated Green Bay Packer fan starting with games at East High Stadium to the present Lambeau Field.

She enjoyed traveling, to England and to Alaska. Evie could also be found at her grandchildren’s sporting and music events, cheering them on.
