THE DALLAS POST, NOV. 23, 1971
fe Kno Yor: Neigh hor
Blend a ‘‘bit of beauty, a large
measure of charm, portion of
personality, mix well with ef-
ficiency, add a dash of humor
and lots of love” and you have—
Evelyn Eck.
‘A more appropriate way to
describe her would be difficult
for she has all of the above
qualities plus the willingness to
become ‘‘involved.”’
One has only to enter her
modern, white home on Lehigh
Street, Shavertown, to feel
warmth and love. The soft-
colored rooms, attractive
drapes and slipcovers, made by
Evelyn, and creative appoint-
ments throughout reflect her in-
terest in interior decorating.
_ Evelyn Eck, the: former
‘Evelyn Templin, daughter of
the late Richard and Edith
Templin, is well known
throughout the area for her
active participation in all
community and church affairs.
She has actually carved a
career for herself in. these
fields. But before everything
else, she is a homemaker.
The mother of four children—
Beverly, in medical research,
University of Colorado;
Marilyn, chemicul research,
American Cyanamid, Bound
Brook, N.J.; Dorothy Strauch,
nurse and secretary in a doc-
tor’s office in California; and
Jack, recently returned from
Vietnam, and a doctor in the
Vail Clinic, Vail, Colo. He will
begin his residency at Temple
University in September.
Evelyn does her own canning,
baking, and other "household
chores including gardening:
Her beautifully landscaped
yard with numerous flower beds
is the result of her labor. Her
latest project outdoors has been
a rose garden which she has
developed over the past several
seasons.
Since the time she married
Fred Eck and left her position
as registered nurse in a local
hospital, she has been con-
tinuously involved in service
work.
Her love of music prompted
her to become a member of the
first choir at St. Paul's
Lutheran Church in which she
still takes part. When her chil-
dren asked, “Why can’t we sing
in the choir?” she was instru-
mental in organizing a junior
choir still in existence today.
Her children followed in her
musical footsteps and for many
years they played in public at
one piano. Their music teacher
had to obtain special arrange-
ments for their eight hands.
Always interested in her
church, she is a charter
member and past president of
the Dorcas Society. She is also a
member of Lutheran Church
Women and served as the
second president of that
organization. Until recently she
taught Sunday School at various
age levels.
Evelyn acted as a Den Mother
for Cub Scouts and was a Girl
Scout leader for 10 years. She
was awarded the highest adult
award by the local Girl Scout
council - the Thanks badge.
Most rewarding to her,
however, are the invitations she
has received from former
members of her Senior Girl
Scout troop. ‘‘It is heart-
warming’’ she told the Post, “to
realize these girls remember
me over such a long period of
time.”
When she completed her
service as Girl Scout leader, she
became leader of the Hi-Y girls
and also became an active
board member of the Back
Mountain YMCA. She was also
an active member of West-
moreland High School PTA and
Back Mountain Council of PTA.
She refused the office of pre-
sident in both of these organiz-
.ations because she felt ‘‘the pre-
sident should be a man.”
In 1956, Evelyn Eck was
named ‘Mrs. Wyoming Valley”
as a tribute to her community
service work.
Every year she works in the
refreshment stand at the
library auction. She has also
served as a volunteer in every
fund drive in the Back Mountain ,
area and most recently was
Back Mountain chairman for
the United Fund and West Side
chairman of the same organiza-
tion. This marks the sixth year
she has served as a member of
the Fund’s allocation commit-
tee.
Church work and social
agency service are just the be-
ginning. Evelyn is also a
member of Dallas Senior
Women’s Club. She is a past
president of both the Junior and
Senior Woman's Clubs, and is
presently chairman of the
Educational Fund Committee
she helped organize eight years
ago.
Perhaps she is best known to
many residents for her work
with the Nesbitt Hospital
Auxiliary, an orgainzation in
which she has been active for
many years. She is a past pre-
sident of the Shavertown
Branch and immediate past
president of the overall
auxiliary. She is now editor of
their newsletter and chairman
of the Educational Fund. She
also works as a volunteer in the
hospitality shop. For two years
she was chairman of the
auxiliary’s annual spring fes-
tival. Twice a month for the
past 15 years she has made
puppets for the hospital.
This year, Evelyn was
chairman of baked goods
committee for their ‘‘Holiday
Fair.” As chairman, she made
all the ‘dough for 50 pies and
most of the batter for 50 dozen
cookies which she distributed to
other members of her commit-
tee for baking. In addition she
made six pies and seven
fruitcakes which She donated to
Music is one of her first loves
and for 10 years the Women’s
Club Glee Club met at her home
for rehearsals. In this way she
could be a member of the group
and still take care of her chil-
dren. She also wrote and took
part in a musical ‘“Memories’’
presented by the Woman's Club.
There was a time when the local
firemen presented plays and
musicals and her love of music
prompted her to take part in
them.
Two of her daughters were
exchange students - Marilyn, in
Rhodesia, and Beverly in South
Africa - and she hosted two
exchange students - Ross
Walker, from Australia, who
met and later married Marjorie
Davis and now resides in
Shavertown; and Brigetta

Carverton Rd.
Trucksville
— Evelyn Eck
Vigborg, Sweden, who con-
tinues to correspond regularly.
The Ecks plan to visit her in
Sweden in the near future.
Evelyn is currently corres-
ponding secretary and chair-
man of clinic and personnel of
Planned Parenthood organiz-
ation and a volunteer for
“FISH.”
When we remarked that she
seemed to have exchanged one
career for another, ‘nursing for
volunteer service,”” she
corrected us. ‘‘No,’’ she said, “I
exchanged a career for home-
making. My husband, children
and home have always been my
primary concern. In fact, most
of the things that I have done, I
have been drawn into because
of them. I feel that it has been
well worth it for today they are
well-adjusted individuals quite
willing to assume a role of in-

volvement. Their interest and
consideration for others, their
willingness to communicate
with us, is my most self-satis-
fying reward.”
We asked this remarkable
wife and mother if she had any
leisure time activities. Her
answer - refinishing furniture,
sewing, interior decorating, and
for the past three years - golf. In
the future, she would like to do
oil painting.
As the mother of three
Mariner Girl Scouts and one
Eagle Scout, we asked her
opinion of youth of today. “I
think the majority of them are
tremendous,” she said. “They
know what needs to be done and
they are trying to do it. And I
feel every young person is the
product of our generation.
Success or failure has been ini-
tiated by parents.”
