Evelyn Olsen Chambers

Evelyn Olsen Chambers, 93, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2015 in Logan, Utah.
Evelyn was born January 23, 1922 in Provo, Utah to J. Angus Olsen and Emma Hopkins Olsen. She attended Spanish Fork schools and graduated from Spanish Fork High School. She attended Brigham Young University where she met her sweetheart, Max W. Chambers of Garland. Max and Evelyn were married on June 20, 1941 in the Salt Lake Temple and spent more than 64 years together before Max passed away in 2005.
After living a variety of places while Max served in the military, Max and Evelyn settled down in Spanish Fork where they raised their sons. They moved to a home on 1600 East in Logan in 1963 and enjoyed many years there. Max and Evelyn loved to travel. They enjoyed many trips together and with family throughout their lives. They also shared a love of gardening and took such great pride in their home and yard, spending countless hours caring for the plants and lawn. Their yard was a showplace of beauty for all who passed by.  After Max passed away, Evelyn moved into Pioneer Valley Lodge where she met many people and enjoyed regular card games with her friends. She was living there up until the time of her death.
Evelyn enjoyed pursuing many interests and activities. First and foremost of these was her love and involvement with her family. Max and Evelyn are the parents of two sons, M. Brent (wife Carolyn) and Gary A. (wife Ruth Ann). They also have 12 grandchildren and 36 great grandchildren. Evelyn has enjoyed her life and her many hobbies and talents which include: all types of handwork, painting in oil, bowling, golfing, gardening, and fishing. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Evelyn is survived by her sons and daughters-in-law Brent and Carolyn of Provo and Gary and Ruth Ann of North Logan and her 12 grandchildren and 36 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents and her in-laws John W. Chambers and Mabel Goddard Chambers. She was also preceded in death by her sweetheart and love of her life, Max.
