During her career, Evie touched many lives facilitating quality care to her patients and professional mentoring to her peers bringing her “No Nonsense” intellectual prowess whenever needed. She was guided in mission by her strong faith which she nurtured every Wednesday by volunteering her time at St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church.
