She married Howard Miller on March 24, 1946 at St. John Lutheran Church in Dieterich, where Evelyn was also Baptized and Confirmed, and he preceded her in death on March 26, 2015.<br \/>\nEvelyn loved to bake cookies and give them away to family and friends. Her famous chocolate angel food cakes were also loved by all. Evelyn took great pleasure in hosting family and friends at her home so she could cook them a meal. She also enjoyed sewing, crafting, and playing cards with her card club friends. But the most important thing to Evelyn was her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She loved going to church and was a member at St. Paul Lutheran in Wheeler who rarely missed until her failing health prevented her from attending.<br \/>\nEvelyn is survived by her daughter, Carol (Richard) Boerngen; grandchildren, Jason (Jennifer) Boerngen and Jennifer (Derek) Kohlhagen; great-grandchildren Kaitlyn, Justin and Allison Boerngen and Skyler Kohlhagen; and sister-in-law, Helen Miller.<br \/>\nShe was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Howard Miller; daughter, Diana Miller; sisters, Leona (Floyd) Miller and Betty (Kenneth) Wachtel; brothers, Marvin (Ardelia) Haack, Alvin (Dorothy) Haack, and Robert Lee Haack in infancy; brother-in-law, Glen Miller; and sisters-in-law, Ruby (Harold) Giesler and Rhea (Harold) Harman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evelyn E.
