Born January 30, 1938 to Andrew and Lily (James) Graham in Forfar, Angus, Scotland, she attended Forfar Academy and St. Andrews University in Scotland. She grew up at 83 Graham Crescent, where she could look out at the nearby loch in the back and the cricket pitch in the front. At Forfar Academy, Evelyn was head of her class (three-way tie) and took honors in Latin. She was the captain of the Forfar Academy field hockey team, studied ballet, and competed in Scottish country dance competitions. Evelyn studied pipe organ and piano with her beloved teacher Mr. Bernard and was very active in scouting, where she earned the distinction of First Class Girl Guide. At St. Andrews, Evelyn was a foil fencer and the captain of the St. Andrews women's fencing team, which won the national championship in 1959. She continued to dance as a part of the St. Andrews country dancing group. It was at St. Andrews that she met Bruce Brown, who found an excuse to introduce himself when he passed her a note in the hallway. Evelyn graduated with a degree in Languages and went on to complete her teacher's training at St. Andrews Teachers College before returning to Forfar to teach primary school. Continuing her involvement with scouting, she became a leader in the Girl Guides and enjoyed having her nieces Lyn and Pam in her group. She would later be a Girl Scout Leader in Indiana, leading her daughters' troops and working with other area groups over the years at Red Bud day camp. .Evelyn married Bruce at St. Margaret's Church in Forfar, Scotland on September 22, 1962. After splitting time between Indiana and Scotland for a few years, they settled into their current home in 1970. They raised five children on the place they named Strathmore Farm. Evelyn was a member of Tangier Friends Church, where she taught Sunday School classes and played the piano and organ. She partnered with her sister-in-law Mary Woods in a painting and wallpapering business, which they enjoyed together for many years. Evelyn is survived by her husband Bruce Hadley Brown and their children, Andrew (Lori) Brown of Tangier; Alyson (Matt) Brown Navarro of Jersey City, NJ; Mary Brown Moore of Clayton; Robert (Sabrina) Brown of Rockville; and Graham (Susan) Brown of Carmel.
