Evelyn was born on October 11, 1925 in Flandreau, SD to Adolf and Mary (Peterson) Beyer. She attended Tidd Country School and graduated from Egan High School in 1943. She then went on to Nettleton Business College for one semester in the fall of 1943.

Doyal passed away in 2011, but Evelyn continued living on the farm taking care of her flowers, maintaining, and mowing her large yard. She also loved baking and always had a sweet treat for anyone who stopped by for a visit.
