Evelynne Mae (Wickstrom) Moses was born on August 8, 1928, in Hamill, South Dakota, to Valdemar and Florence (Shalander) Wickstrom, the second of three children.

Evelynne grew up in the Hamill community and attended school through the 8 ^th grade. She moved to Winner the summer before beginning high school and graduated from Winner High School in 1946.

Evelynne married the love of her life, William Dave Moses, on May 20, 1947. To this union three children were born: Steven, Sally & Debra.

First and foremost, Evelynne's most important occupation was that of a mother and wife.

She also worked for Paul Blomstrom in the office of the West- side Market and worked at Farmers State Bank for several years in Winner.

Evelynne was famous for her hospitality! She always made everyone feel welcomed and right at home in their house on West 8 ^th Street. Her pies were legendary, the several course meals served on the daily whether it was for a holiday or a regular weekday meal, and there were always homemade sugar cookies available for all the grands. She took pride in her home and personal appearance; always dressed to the "nines" and ready for the day.

Her life was filled with grandchildren and their activities, card games, coffee parties, cheering on the Minnesota Twins & Vikings, and devotion to the church. Evelynne started going to the United Methodist Church in Winner when she was 13 years old; beginning her freshman year in high school. Evelynne and Bill joined the church in 1955. Her faith was strong and devout.

Love, patience, and respect were the foundation of Bill and Evelynne's 71-year love affair. Their commitment to each other and their family was the greatest love story ever told. Evelynne was very proud of the fact that they were able to celebrate their 70 ^th anniversary and 90 ^th birthdays together, both with grand celebrations!
