She leaves behind a loving, eternal partner, Eugene Bertrand Mills.
Evelyn spent her childhood in Moapa Valley Nevada. She enjoyed being involved in many activities in school such as cheerleading, sports, drama and especially being a majorette. She married her high school sweetheart in the St. George temple on June 25th, 1954 after attending college at SUU. She and Gene lived in many places raising their four children while Gene served in the military. Evelyn's greatest love was her family, especially spending time spoiling her grandchildren. She had many talents which included sewing clothes for her grandchildren, making beautiful quilts and crocheting afghans. She especially loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping and boating.
Evelyn had a deep love for her Savior and showed it through many hours of selfless service to her friends and neighbors.

Gene and Evelyn faithfully served as temple workers at the Mt. Timpanogos temple, where Evelyn played the organ.
