In 1976, she moved to Glen-wood, Fla., where she thrived as postmistress of the Glenwood post office until 1990. After that time, she moved to the Cloisters in DeLand. She developed many cherished friendships during those years. She then moved to Pensacola, Fla., to be near her youngest daughter, Kathryn (Kate). She lived at Pensacola Beach and then at Homestead Village, where she developed significant relationships with other residents and caretakers. She greatly enjoyed spending time at the beach and painting beach and nature scenes with watercolors. Evelyn and Robert had five children: Susan Jane, Ann Arbor, Mich. (married to Sid Boyd), Robert Karl, St. Augustine (married to Diana), Sybil Maud (who predeceased her and was married to Vernie Davis), Kathryn Ann, Pensacola, (married to Joe Lawrence), and Alex Charles, Austin, Texas (married to Kim).
