Evelyn Elizabeth Wojcik was born Jan. 28, 1929, on the family farm 4 miles north of Lindsay. She was the third of 10 children born to Bernard J. and Theresa (Borer) Wiese. Evelyn attended the rural district school and Holy Family at Lindsay through the 8th grade. On Aug. 16, 1948, she was united in marriage to Clarence Wojcik at Holy Family Church in Lindsay. They were married 67 years when Clarence died in 2015.
Evelyn worked hard alongside of Clarence building the family farm. In her later years she began quilting, embroidering tea towels, reading, doing word search books and taking care of her outside flowers. She always enjoyed playing cards and visiting with family and friends. Evelyn was a lifelong member of Holy Family Catholic Church and a part of the ladies sewing group where she contributed with the embroidering of many tea towels.
Evelyn and Clarence started to do the Plant Project work for the parish from its beginning. They were known for doing the “orange cap” packages. At 92, Evelyn was still averaging 1,000 to 2,000 packages a week beside various other project jobs. She was acknowledged with a service award from the parish for her time given. She was very dedicated to the project work and truly enjoyed the fellowship it provided.
