Evelyn was born 7/25/32 in Philadelphia to the late Adam and Elsie Bachmayer, and had one brother, the late Donald Bachmayer. She was pre-deceased in 1991 by her beloved husband of 42 years, Rudolph C Kastenhuber II, and in 2001 by husband of 4 years, Adam Zurybida.

As a teen Evelyn was a straight A student and involved with a youth Bible group. Married in 1949 to the

love of her life Rudy, she was devoted to him and their 9 children and their families. Needless to say, a

full-time job! In 1979 she began a career as an accounting clerk where she excelled in her role earning

multiple certifications, until her retirement in 1997. In her 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s, she blossomed

exploring her interests and passions for music, learning German, needlecrafts, cooking and travel,

including 2 trips to Germany. She enrolled in art and dance classes, regularly practiced piano, and sang

in 2 community choral groups as well as in the choir at St John’s. She continued her pursuit of Bible

studies in various venues, and was an active long-time member at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran

Church, including serving as a past Church Council member.

Evelyn is survived by her children: Christine Kastenhuber, Carol Riling (Jeffrey), Andrew Kastenhuber
