Evelyn was born on November 14, 1926 in Alexandria, MN to Sidney Angus and Edith (Kallstrom) Angus, and was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Faith.
Evelyn was united in marriage to Val Gene Bizzle on May 23, 1947, at Chapel #481, Lowery Field, CO. Five children were born into this union. The family, like many young military families, moved around to different bases until Gene was discharged from the Air Force. The family also lived in McLoud, OK, Oklahoma City, OK, Roswell, NM, Hobbs, NM and Ruidoso, NM.
They resided in Ruidoso until moving to Midland, TX to be closer to family. Evelyn never minded moving and she would often tell others she had lived in 20 different states.
Evelyn worked as a Registered Medical Technologist with a special interest in microbiology after graduating from The University of Denver. During her career, she was very active in the American Medical Technologist Society and served in various positions in the New Mexico State Chapter.
Evelyn is survived by her children, Lori A. Bizzle, of Midland, TX, Terry L. Bizzle, of Tazewell, TN, Paul G. Bizzle, of Tahlequaha, OK; and by numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Charles Angus, of Fergus Falls, MN; along with many nieces and nephews.
Evelyn enjoyed her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. After retirement she volunteered with the Lincoln County Medical Center and organized their Annual Blood Drive. She and Gene loved to travel and enjoyed snow-birding in their RV, especially in Casa Grande, AZ. She enjoyed taking long walks outside, playing card games, board games, and dominoes, especially Mexican Train. But most of all Evelyn enjoyed serving others, she would gladly give up her own comfort for you.
