Later Evonne worked at the Salt Lake Community College Bookstore for 23 years. She loved all those that she worked with and considered them very good friends. She was very artistic and creative, adorning those she loved with the creations she made. Her talents included hand painted porcelain dolls and figurines. She loved to crochet and crocheted a personalized afghan for each of her 20 grandchildren in their favorite colors. She also loved music, it was a big part of her life.

Evonne said her greatest accomplishment was rearing her five children: Mike, Peggy, Brian, Don and David; they always had fun together as a family. She also considered their spouses as her own and greatly loved her 20 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. They were always such a joy to her. One of the things Evonne is most grateful for is her membership and knowledge of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that has helped guide her throughout her life.
