She worked as a Supervisor at General Motors in Grand Rapids Michigan for more than 25 years, and worked at Montgomery Wards in Grand Rapids, Michigan in the office.

Evelyn was always a diligent worker, who took pride in whatever job or position that she held. Evelyn was an avid church goer who attended St. Mark A.M.E. Zion Church in Athens Tennessee. She held the position of Treasurer for a few years.

Evelyn had a great love of fashion, she had suits, shoes, and purses in every, color and style. Evelyn’s greatest love was for her son, Michael Alan Armstrong whom she cherished. Evelyn was precedent in death by her parents Roxie Jane Moss Haley and Father Henry Haley, son, Michael Alan Armstrong, and brother -in- law Charlie Roberts.
