Evelyn M (Dottie) Gebhard

Evelyn was born on April 9, 1928 on the family farm in Marion Township, the daughter of Louis G. & Louisa P. (Wellner) Brechler. On February 22, 1949 Evelyn married her childhood sweetheart, Arno G. Gebhard, at the Marion E & R Church. Together they owned and operated Suncrest Farms where they raised five children. Dottie remained active working on the farm hauling haylage and corn with her favorite big New Holland tractor. She enjoyed riding her
4-wheeler, mowing her yard, raising a big garden, feeding and watching her hummingbirds. She especially took pleasure in planting lots of flowers and making trips to Hillside Greenhouse to get flowers for an area that “needed a little something yet”.
