As a Registered Nurse, Evelyn worked for 10 years for an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist, 4 years at Syracuse Memorial Hospital and 31 years for General Practitioner, Dr. William Schiffman, in Mattydale.

Evelyn volunteered at the immunization clinics during the outbreak of Asian Flu and then volunteered for the first Flu clinic offered by the Onondaga Health Department for the community. She retired in August 1978 when Dr. Schiffman retired and his office closed. Volunteering for Evelyn then began on a more full-time basis at the Wagon Wheels Senior Center in the Nutrition area, serving on their steering committee and then becoming the President of the steering committee for 4 years. During that time, she also volunteered for the Onondaga Health Department doing hypertension screenings and immunization clinics. Evelyn was a member of the Onondaga Health Department Auxiliary Board and served on the Advisory Board of their Volunteer Center RSVP for over 20 years. She was a communicant of St. Margaret's Church in Mattydale where she served as a Lector and a Eucharistic Minister, often visiting people in Nursing Homes and the homebound. Evelyn also belonged to the Mattydale-Hinsdale Seniors Group. She received many honors for her volunteerism among which included a Community Service Award and an award from President Bush.
