Before she met her husband she was a recruiter in Ohio.On May 3, 1948 she married Robert Coleman and they started their family. In 1957 they left Shelby, Ohio, moving to many states and Germany before settling in Nevada. Working for the government allowed them to travel, which became a common occurrence. They often took Sunday drives and random road trips. When not working or traveling she enjoyed watching golf, listening to baseball and following other sports. She played pinochle at work, made rugs and got a friend hooked on it as well. Evangeline was very patriotic, a life long Ohio Buckeye fanso much so that she kept buckeye nuts in her dresser drawer even though they are poisonous. She had such a quick-wit which made her very funny, was a wonderful cook and had incredible luck.
