Evelyn's education was obtained at the Naisberry school, the Melfort Public School, and the Melfort High School. She briefly joined her sister in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, but did not enjoy city life, so returned to Melfort.

Following the marriage, the two moved to a farmstead, but would later move back to the town. The Andersons had five children.
