Evelyn was born on March 25, 1931 to Frank and Mary (Coenen) Kusterman in Bellevue Township near Royalton. On June 6, 1950, she was married to the love of her life, Joseph Trettel at Holy Cross Catholic Church in North Prairie. Evelyn lived in Bowlus where she worked on the farm with her husband until he passed away. Evelyn then moved to Little Falls and worked in the produce department at Coborn’s for 32 years. Evelyn was a member of the Bowlus Legion Auxillary for 53 years and the Rosary Society at St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church in Bowlus. Evelyn loved to embroider, puzzle books, reading, playing cards, gardening, and baking. She was independent and most importantly, loved her family unconditionally.
