She graduated high school from Arnold High School. She then went on to get her teaching degree and taught in the WaKeeney school system for several years. Evelyn was married to George K. Clark on May 6, 1944. They lived on their farm in Western Kansas for several years before making their permanent home in Wichita. Evelyn devoted her life to her family and friends, and was an active member at the Kechi United Methodist Church. Her love for the piano and organ gave way to teaching several children to play the piano, but her favorite student was her granddaughter, Natalie, whom she introduced to the piano at the age of 3. She loved making beautiful quilts, many of which she shared with her very lucky family. Being with her family and friends were her special pleasures. Evelyn is preceded in death by her husband, her parents; brother, Ralph Ummel; and a sister, Phyllis Flaherty.
