Evelyn was a huge sports fan, with a particular love for the Boston Bruins and Red Sox, and held season tickets for many years. She enjoyed the thrill of the games and the camaraderie of fellow fans and close friends. Evelyn also worked for many years as a loan officer in the First National Bank of Boston, where she built lasting friendships.

Outside of work, Evelyn had a deep love for supporting her children's schools. She volunteered at the school library and supported all school events, where her infectious enthusiasm and kindness left a lasting impact on all who knew her. Evelyn had a special place in her heart for her friend group on Cape Cod and Parker's River Beach. Surrounded by her cousins, grandmother, parents and aunts and uncles, she enjoyed summers and special memories in Monponsset. She had a well-known talent for making chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cream pie.
