She was born on December 23, 1924 in rural Harvey County, Kansas, the only child of Bert and Mary (Bierschbach) Stutzman.  Her profession of faith and baptism was at the Centennial Methodist Church in Lake Township near Patterson, Kansas in 1936 at the age of 12.  After graduating from Halstead High School in 1943, Evelyn lived in Wichita a short time.

Evelyn married Edwin R.
