After 14 years of teaching, Evelyn retired in order to devote her attention to her children and her parents. Evelyn married Christian Buur Bakgaard in 1953 and in the summer of 1956 they took a belated honeymoon to the Skoki area with the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies. Evelyn and Christian were both novice horseriders and the Skoki trip was their only trail ride. Evelyn and Christian Bakgaard were divorced in 1983.
