Dr. Eva L. Evans was the daughter of Exzelma Lowe (Arthur) Allmon and William Henry Butler and was born January 14, 1935, in Memphis, Tennessee. Eva grew up in Detroit, Michigan. As an only child, she developed a strong sense of who she was and what she wanted out of life. Dr. Evans attended Detroit’s public schools and went on to earn her Bachelor of Science degree from Wayne State University and both Master’s and Doctoral degrees from Michigan State University.
