Mrs. Evelyn F. Allen was born December 21, 1937 to Leonard Stevenson, Sr., and Betty Mae Fields in Saint Hedwig, Texas. At an early age she moved to San Antonio, Texas and later moved Austin, Texas where she resided until her passing. Evelyn accepted Christ at an early age at Hebron Baptist Church under the leadership of the late Rev. C.C. Brown. Evelyn's career spanned over 25 years with the Travis State School. It was there that she made lifelong friendships with the staff, patients and their families. Because of her loving ways, she was loved. She also had a green thumb. She loved planting flowers, especially roses. She was known for taking cuttings from anywhere she saw beautiful plants and replant them in her yard and soon they would be budding in her garden. Her yard is proof of her gift to grow roses which she often shared with many of her family and friends. If you received a rose or a rose bush from her you knew you were loved.
