Evelyn LaVerne Anderson, daughter of Fred and Grace (White) Anderson, was born August 12, 1926 in Bremerton, Washington, where she grew up and graduated from Bremerton High School. After completing 11th grade, Evelyn worked as a courier and telephone operator for Bell Telephone Company supporting the war efforts. On November 4, 1945, she was united in marriage to Clarence Juergensen in Bremerton, WA. The couple returned to Stevens County, where they farmed in Framnas Township and raised their four children. In 1972, they opened "Eva�(TM)s Bait, Tackle, Tropical Fish and Ceramics". She ran the business until 1982, when they semi-retired and began working at First Lutheran Church as co-custodians. For several years, Clarence and Ev wintered in Needles, California, before moving there in 2000. While in California they were assistant caretakers at the Calizona RV Park. In November, 2008, they returned to Morris and have made their home at Skyview Plaza since January 2010.
