Evelyn Brodersen Hooge was born May 1, 1936 in El Reno, OK, and grew up on a farm in Okarche, Oklahoma. Although her parents were loving, they believed a woman’s place was in the home and opted to send Evelyn’s brother to further his education while Evelyn stayed home. As soon as she graduated from Okarche Highschool on May 25, 1954, Evelyn saved what she could and left her family home in pursuit of a life of her own.
