She was the President of the Homemakers at Bethany United Methodist Church as well. Evelyn worked for Chesapeake & Potomac Phone Co., Maryland Cup Co., & Sears in her lifetime but she was primarily a housewife.

Evelyn will be remembered mostly for her love of her children & family. She would always put her children's needs above her own. You could always find her at as many events as she could possibly attend. Everyone who knew Evelyn knew she had a great love for playing cards. She was always at the kitchen table playing Shanghai rummy, pinochle, and King's Corners with anyone who'd be willing to sit down and play. "She also enjoyed playing softball where she was on a team with her daughter Joy at Bethany Methodist Church." Her family would like for you to know that Evelyn was a very strong, positive, and humorous woman who was always laughing. Evelyn is preceded in death by her parents Elmer and Vera (Myer) Derrow, her siblings Carroll Derrow, Lorraine Gooden, and Warren Derrow. As well as, her former husband's Richard Congdon, David Hall, and Robert Meyer, her son Timothy Congdon and grandson Darrek Chandler.
