Evelyn was raised on a farm near Grant Center, Iowa where she attended grade school. After graduating from Smithland High School in 1940, she married Melvin F. Uhl of Mapleton, IA on June 4th. They were married 58 years before Melvin's death in 1998. The couple first farmed near Climbing Hill, IA, before moving to a 160 acre farm near Grant Center, IA.

In 2007, Evelyn moved from Moville, IA to Omaha to be close to her son after having been diagnosed with dementia. Evelyn enjoyed playing cards, cooking, sewing, watching her children in numerous activities, dancing and socializing. She was always smiling and had the most infectious laugh. She loved engaging strangers in conversation; once missing a flight during a layover due to this wonderful attribute of her personality. This delightful lady will be missed.
