Born January 22, 1927 in Delaware, Ohio to the late Allan and Dorothy Long, Evelyn was a graduate of Delaware Hayes H.S. and a 1948 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University. While at OWU, she met Robert S. Mauck whom she married in 1949 in Switzerland where Evelyn had been a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Zurich. A gifted artist and an elegant skier/tennis player, Evelyn was not to be trifled with at the bridge table. She is the Evelyn of Bob and Evelyn’s Roadhouse exhibit at the Columbus Zoo. Sources estimate that she and Bob visited 99 of the top 100 bucket list destinations over their 65 years together. She was an active supporter of the Childhood League, the Columbus Museum of Art and the Columbus Zoo.
