They raised their four children and remained there until Albert retired. During those years Evelyn was active, holding offices in Eastern Star and Rebecca lodges and the PTA. She was also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and throughout the years she was a member of Lee Vining Presbyterian Church, Big Pine Methodist Church and Dutch Flat Presbyterian Church.
The farm girl in her enjoyed raising chickens, rabbits, goats and an occasional lamb. She also enjoyed fishing and hunting with the entire family. Albert taught Evelyn to enjoy hunting and fishing as much as he did and her first Mule deer rack still remains the largest in the family! For many years the highlight of each Fall was a get-away fishing and deer, elk and moose hunting trip with Jack and Barbara Murphey and Bob and Clara Calhoun, all of Lee Vining.
Evelyn retired to Big Pine after Albert’s long career with Cal Electric and SCE where they lived until Al’s death in 1982. Evelyn continued living in Big Pine and married Kurt Leuschner of June Lake in 1987. After Kurt’s death in 1988 she married Ernie Taylor of Dutch Flat. She and Ernie lived in Big Pine and Dutch Flat until his death in 2003. Due to Muscular Degeneration and a heart condition, Evelyn lived her last years in an assisted-living facility in Gardnerville and Carson City. She will be greatly missed by her family and her many friends.
Evelyn is survived by her three daughters, Frances and husband Ed Fortney, Shirley and husband Dave Bauer, Mary Jane and husband Robert Snyder and her pride and joy, son Bill Davis and his wife Patti. She had 13 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and many, many friends.
Donations in memory of Evelyn can be made to the National Federation of the Blind, 5928 S. Land Park Dr. Sacramento, 95822 or to the American Heart Association.
