Evelyn graduated from Mansfield Senior High in 1937 and married the late E. Robert Boughton on December 2, 1939. They enjoyed many years together until his passing in 1984.
She used to read two-three books a week, enjoyed Word Search books, being around her family and made the very best chocolate chip cookies! She loved her Cleveland “Indians”, the Browns, Ohio State and watched any football game that was on TV. Her breakfast of champions for many many years consisted of 4-5 Golden Oreo cookies and her cup of tea. Her beautiful blue eyes and smile won over every one she met.
