(Mrs.) Evelyn Martha Dick was born on August 7, 1942, in Coaldale, Alta., to Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Neufeld. In 1945 the family moved to Chilliwack, B.C . where Evelyn spent her childhood and teen years. As a young girl she committed her life to the Lord. She was baptized and received into the East Chilliwack Church in 1958, where she served as church pianist for some years.

On July 16, 1965, she married Peter Dick and established a lovely Christian home in Surrey, B.C. She was actively involved in her church, singing in the choir and teaching Sunday School.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
