Evelyn Eva Werschler was born in Neudorf, SK on July 16, 1913 to Michael & Elizabeth Yahnke (nee Wirth). She was the eldest of 14 children. Evelyn was baptised on August 2, 1913 and confirmed on April 10, 1927. Evelyn attended Prairie School in Neudorf to Grade 8. She then helped her parents on the farm until her marriage to Frank Alfred Werschler of the MacNutt area on September 27, 1936. There, they settled and farmed on Frank's parent's home place and raised their 4 children. In 1967-1968 they bought and managed their own cafe in Balgonie, SK and also farmed. Although they enjoyed the challenge and all the new people they met in Balgonie, they found the long hours were more than they had expected. They returned to the farm until they decided to sell and move to Yorkton, SK in 1974. There, they became involved with their new church - Zion Lutheran. Evelyn even joined the work force and was employed by SIGN. They enjoyed their new community and all the new friends they found. For the last 12 years, Evelyn lived at Queen Elizabeth Court in Yorkton until November, 2008, when she moved to Centennial Special Care Home in Langenburg, SK until her death.
