was born in Hamilton, Ontario in 1943. Her parents were Russian immigrants who had settled down in Canada.

She attended grade thirteen at Westdale High School in Hamilton and then the honors Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry program at the University of Toronto.

After two years there she ended up back in Hamilton to attend McMaster, where she completed the rest of her education. She got her Bachelor of Science in mathematics in 1965 (graduating at the top of her class). She then completed her Masters in mathematics in 1967. Her thesis was 鈥溾��, which ended up being her first published paper (It was published in the ). She also completed her Ph.D in 1970 at McMaster but she decided to do it in four years instead of two. She gave birth to her first daughter while writing her thesis for her doctorate. This thesis was 鈥溾��, which was also published in the Canadian Journal of Mathematics.

Along with writing papers she peer reviewed for ten different journals. She also wrote close to 100 reviews. She was the editor of , as well.

She worked right up until she died of cancer in 1987 at the age of 43. After her death a about Evelyn's life was published in Algebra Universalis, talking about her work and her impact on algebra. She proved semigroups with certain generating sets are finite, along with exploring which groups are finiate and which are infinite.    Since her death the gives out the for Distinguished Research by Women in Mathematics in honor of Evelyn and another Canadian mathematician, .
