Evelyn made diverse career choices that included working in a shipyard, working as a cook in her uncle’s logging camp, bookkeeping, and home- making. Her most enjoyable career, however, was her volun- teer ministry, which took place over a 67-year course. When possible, she would dedicate most of her week to Bible education work where she assisted many and formed many friendships. Her devotion to her Creator was at the heart of her volunteer work and the focus of her life. She stayed strong in her faith of the Bible’s promises for a beautiful future. She was grate- ful for her family, whom she adored, and we long for the time we can see her again. She is survived by her hus- band, Richard Robert Holdren; son Philip (Marie) Holdren; daughters Dorothy Tison and Katherine (Jess) Bliss and Madeline (Roger Smuin; 11 grandchildren, 20 great-grand- children, 7 great-great-grand- children; many in-laws, nieces, nephews and friends.
