Bom Vivian Clingman in 1908 in Clemmons, Evans was the fourth of seven children born to William and Sarah Clingman. She is the only one of the siblings still living. The family lived on a small farm in Clemmons, where life was very hard. She attended a segregated school through seventh grade; and although a very good stu dent, Forsyth County would not allow people of color to attend any higher grades. With such a limited education, she went to work for a private family as a maid. Years later, she became a cook for the school system. She met and married John A. Evans Sr. They were mar ried for 63 years before his passing and reared three sons: John, James and Robert. Their home was filled with a lot of love, wisdom, hope and vision. They desired that their sons would receive a college education and "through the grace of God and many sacri fices made by John and me," Evans said, "all three got their college degrees." All the party guests praised Evans. Her niece, Gurtie C. Brooks of Capital Heights, Md.; nephew Charles Vivian C. Evans with two of her sons, John A. Evans Jr. and James Evans. Vivian C.

White's store. "She peeled her home grown apples in a special way without any waste and made her own crust," Rucker said. Evans also made her own clothes and quilts, which she exhibited at the fair.
