Evelyn was born on July 2, 1932 in Leedey, Oklahoma to Earnest and Phoebe Woodard. She was the 12th child born to this union. She attended school in Leedey, Oklahoma and graduated with the class of 1950.

She married Carl Day in Clayton, New Mexico on September 3, 1954. He passed away on January 6, 2012. They were married for 57 years and had one daughter, Gina.

She was raised on a farm and helped by working in the fields and with other chores around the home. At the age of 15, her mother passed away, which changed her duties to more domestic uses to care for her father and two brothers still at home, and finish high school.

In January 1951 she moved to Perryton and began her career as a telephone operator and advanced to different departments through the company. She retired after 35 years of service in 1986. Her last 15 years with G.T.E. was spent working as Secretary for the Engineering Department, which she truly enjoyed.

She was a member of the First Christian Church, Museum of the Plains and Senior Citizens Center in Perryton.

She enjoyed dancing, bowling, fishing, riding horses and taking trips and cruises with friends and family to numerous states and countries.
