Mrs. Evans was a graduate of Columbia College. She taught in the public schools of South Carolina including Mellichamp in Orangeburg and Ben Tillman in Charleston for more than forty years. Even into her last years, she had the ability to recognize each of the children who had been part of her classes over the years. She was a Delta Kappa Gamma sorority member. Mrs. Evans first came to Providence as a teacher in the 1930's. After her marriage in 1970, she returned to Providence. She was active in the community and as a member of Providence United Methodist Church. She was a member of Providence United Methodist Church. She was a member of the Faithful Workers Sunday School Class, and the Belle Bennett Circle of the United Methodist Women. To honor her husband's memory she became active in helping research the history of the Evans family in Providence and her help was acknowledged by the author of Our Evans Heritage. She became very close to the extended Evans family through that endeavor. She was an avid gardener and was most at home and at peace working with nature. This love of gardening did not end when she became a resident of The Methodist Oaks. She transplanted many cuttings from her family home in Rowesville to the grounds of The Methodist Oaks. She was affectionately known as "Butterfly" by those whose lives she touched through her kindness and love of people.
