She was born September 22, 1922 in Cleveland to the late Arthur R. Spencer and Minnie (Rhynard) Spencer Strohm. Evlynn was a 1941 graduate of Bucyrus High School and attended Tiffin Business School. On January 18, 1947 she married Harry S. "Tiny" Beelman who preceded her in death on December 9, 1994. Evlynn's occupation was that of secretarial and clerical duties. She worked for the following businesses throughout her career; North Electric, Smith Incubator, Bucyrus City Income Tax Dept., Crawford County Board of Elections where she served as a director, Holy Trinity School, and Missionaries of the Sacred Heart Center, retiring in 1987. She was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, where she was a past president of the Rosary Altar Society, one of the first Lay Eucharistic Ministers at the church, belonged to the Catholic Ladies of Columbia and was a past director of the R.C.I.A. She was also a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of Elks 156, Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion Post 181; Democratic Women of Crawford County where she served as past president and on the Democratic Central Committee. Most recently, Evlynn served as a trustee for the Bucyrus Historical Society as well as their corresponding secretary until her health no longer permitted her to do so. She was a Red Cross Volunteer for the blood pressure clinics at the Senior Center and she attended the PERS Chapter of Crawford County meetings. She is survived by two daughters, Karen E. "Becky" Stauffer and husband Walter and Lydia C. "Tena" Herman and husband Don, both of Bucyrus; three grandchildren, Jennifer Vermillion and husband Vernon of Bucyrus, Carrie C. Herman of Xenia and Captain Thomas Herman and wife Luciana serving in the U.S. Army; and three great grandchildren, Levi Vermillion, Micah Vermillion and Hannah Vermillion. In addition to her parents and husband, Evlynn is preceded in death by a grandson, Taylor "Tad" Stauffer; two brothers, Arthur R. Spencer and Herbert Spencer and two sisters, Esther Finding and Gertrude Vanichek. Evlynn was extraordinarily ahead of most people even half her age when it came to technology and the internet. At 87, she took care of her personal business online and had a network of friends she kept in touch with including a Facebook account. She enjoyed watching NASCAR races and followed her favorite driver, Carl Edwards.
