During her early womanhood, Evaline married Mr. Lucious Quiller. To their union, six children were born. Her husband preceded her in death leaving her with the children to raise. She was a loving and devoted mother and raised them with the help of her long-time, loving companion, Mr. Earl Petty, who was just like a father to all the children. Three other children were later born in the family and his relationship extended beyond helping to supporting the family until his passing. When the children were all in school, she found employment with Thomaston Mills and later at Peerless Mills. She never neglected her responsibility to her children and later to her grandchildren.
Evaline possessed a strong faith in God. She leaned on him and trusted him to always help during hard times. She was devoted to her children and grandchildren and loved her family dearly. During her leisure time, she enjoyed working in her puzzle books, watching her TV shows, especially westerns, love being a homemaker, and always stayed in contact with her sisters and brothers.
