Born and raised in Easley, SC, Evelyn was the oldest child of the late Bruce and Maude Bagwell. She was very close to her brothers, Larry, Charles and Bobby Bagwell, who preceded her in death.

Evelyn enjoyed a career in Banking for 35 years . She was originally employed by the local Carolina National Bank which merged several times and finally became Bank of America.  She retired from there in 1990.
