7/15/1923 – 9/1/2017

There were 8 children in the family: 4 girl and 4 boys. Evelee Mason was born on July 15, 1923 to Charles and Martha Mason in Tecumseh, NE. She had a triplet sister and brother. The brother preceded her in death at age 6 months. That left the twin girls.

She and her twin sister, Genevie, grew up on a farm and lived with their parents until around the age of 19, in which they went to Mitchel, SD for theological training. After that they went to Colorado Springs, CO for more Bible School Training.

Evelee and Genevie felt called to Christian work and they graduated in 1945 and went to Bladen, NE to pastor a church, and after that they moved to Omaha, NE. They also pastured churches in McCook, NE and Pueblo, CO.

The tow of them felt a call to foreign missionary work. The door opened in 1959 for them to go to South America. She and her sister worked for 10 years on the coast of Guayana and the jungles of South America.

Then they came back home and did deputational work for 2 years; pasturing churches in Columbus, IN for 10 years.

She and her sister moved back by their family in Springfield, NE in 1980 and continued to do the work of the Lord as pastors in both Plattsmouth, NE and Council Bluff, IA. In addition to that they also led bible studies in Springfield,NE.

While in Springfield, they purchased an old country school house that had been moved into town and set on a basement foundation. With the help of family and friends, the twins turned this old schoolhouse into a lovely home. They knew that God had given them this home as a place to rest from all their adventures and they opened their arms to many friends and family that came to visit.

She and her sister’s lives have been very interesting, eventful, and happy. They had always lived together, dressed alike every day, and worked together. After much urging from people to write an autobiography, they wrote a book, naming it, “They Walked Together”. A book that became so popular that it went into a 2^nd printing that sold out. It became available on the internet until that also sold out.

Evelee was preceded in death by her twin sister, Genevie, on February 25, 2015.

Evelee and Genevie’s whole life and thought was in the work of the Lord, and serving Him acceptably.
