Evelyn, along with her sister and their husbands, spent many summers at Kezar Lake in Center Lovell and later at camp in Chatham, N.H. The foursome enjoyed trips to Florida and Arizona. Beginning in 2001, Evelyn and Chuck spent the next decade wintering in Englewood, Fla.

She is survived by her husband of 63 years; her daughter, Beverly Tufts (Dennis); sons, Lee (Donna), Chuck (Michael) and Keith (Mona); nine grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.
