Evelyn (Van Zee) Holleman was born on April 26, 1930 to Fred and Jennie (Boer) Van Zee in Douglas County, SD. She attended country school and was united in marriage to Lyle Holleman in Douglas County on January 6, 1948. A determined and very hard worker, she helped on the farm, milked cows and raised dogs. She also worked at a sewing factory in Platte, SD and was employed at the Platte Care Center. She was an active member of the New Holland Christian Reformed Church.

Evelyn liked plants and had a green thumb when it came to her African Violets and Christmas Cactuses. She enjoyed crocheting, having coffee with friends and was an avid Twins Baseball fan. She will be remembered fondly for her delicious baking – especially her candied peanuts and pies. Evelyn loved her grandkids and family dearly and treasured the time she spent with them.
