She married Charles Edward Fulcher on June 22, 1950. They were together for 49 years until his death in 1999. Their son, Bill, was born in 1953. Evelyn lived with her family in Illinois, Honduras and Georgia before moving back to Scottsville, Va., from 1982 until Charles passed in 1999. Evelyn then moved to Fairfield, Iowa, to be near her son Bill and his family. She spent her last 20 years in Fairfield.

She married George Bradfield of Packwood, Iowa, on Feb. 7, 2010. They shared eight happy years before George passed on Jan. 10, 2018.
