Odrasla je u brojnoj obitelji koja se zbog o\u010deva bankarskog posla nekoliko puta selila sve dok se supru\u017enici nisu rastali 1940. godine. Nakon mature Evelyn se 1942. godine pridru\u017eila&nbsp;Women\u2019s Army Corps (WAC) gdje je radila kao \u201coperaterka uredskih strojeva\u201d u&nbsp;Jefferson Barracks blizu St. Louisa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krajem 1944. se zaposlila kao knjigovotkinja u maloj tvrtci na Manhattanu. Na novogodi\u0161njoj zabavi je upoznala biv\u0161eg vojnika, sada studenta, Barrya Rhodesa. Par se uskoro zaru\u010dio i planirali su vjen\u010danje u lipnju 1947. godine.
