Later in life, she joined First Baptist Church of Yellow Springs, recommitting her life to Christ. She enjoyed and was active in several ministries at First Baptist Church, until her illness precluded her involvement. Sunday school and Awana were two of her favorite activities. Evelyn also held several positions on the deaconess board at First Baptist Church. She held dear worshipping and serving at First Baptist Church and missed fellowshipping with her First Baptist Church family.

She later worked at Olive Kettering Library at Antioch College, holding various jobs. Evelyn retired as library secretary at Antioch College in 2006.
