Evelyn I. Moe, 88, Detroit Lakes, formally of Lake Park, MN died Friday, April 29, 2011 at Emmanuel Nursing Home, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Evelyn was born on July 31, 1922, the daughter of Arnold and Anna (Bullert) Kaiser in Fargo, North Dakota. She moved to Ogema, Minnesota in 1923 with her family, where she was raised and educated.

She was an active member of Atlanta Lutheran Church with Sunday school, ladies aide, circle and was also active with 4H. Evelyn enjoyed sewing, needle point, quilting, gardening of both vegetables and flowers. Together, Evelyn and Carsten won farmer and homemaker awards, conservation and tree planting awards working side by side. No job or chore was to small or to hard for Evelyn. After Carstenchr(39)s death on September 2, 1998, she moved into assisted living in Detroit Lakes. There was no greater joy to Evelyn then when her family came to visit, one or all, even just for a meal. She was extremely proud of her grandchildren and in 2011 to become a great-grandmother. To her, family was all there is and was. She loved one and all equally. We will miss her and her love for us.
