The youngest of five children, Evelyn was born September 1, 1935, in Concord, to Carl and Mabel (Marshall) Nelson. Evelyn and her family lived in Sutton for many years, moving to Penacook in 1946. She was a 1953 graduate of Penacook High School.
Evelyn married Andrew Steenbergen and they had one son together. Evelyn then married Richard “Chic” Beauregard in Long Beach, CA, in 1959. They had two daughters together.
In 1964, Chic and Evelyn moved to East Concord, where Evelyn remained for the next 43 years. Evelyn worked as a secretary at Eastman School, while her children were students there. She later went to work for the State of New Hampshire, Department of Transportation, until her retirement in 1992.
While in East Concord, Evelyn was a Girl Scout leader, lamplighter member, American Heart Association volunteer, tutor, piano player, seamstress, foster mother and gardener.

She is survived by one sister, her son Andrew Steenbergen and daughter Dori Lefebvre, four grandchildren Calista Kasa, Kendra Pio, Jason Steenbergen and Sarah Steenbergen and four great-grandchildren.
