She is survived by five grandchildren: Frannie (Pete) Schneider, Toby (Sara) Biebl, Hans Biebl, Jonathon Biebl, and Lisabeth (Andy) Disch.

Evelyn MacDonald was born November 15, 1919 to Howard and Ethel (Philbrick) MacDonald in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. She married Richard Biebl on August 22, 1944 in Minneapolis. Their union was blessed with 3 children, who they raised together until Richard passed away in 1957. Evelyn’s career in secretarial and administrative work started at Kraft Foods in New Ulm, then shifted to Lindy’s Credit Bureau, and then to State Bond and Mortgage where she worked for 17 years until her retirement. She was a co-founder of the St. Monica’s Society for Widows, volunteered for the Brown County Historical Society for many years, and also volunteered for the DNR. When she was not volunteering, Evelyn enjoyed quilting and researching her family genealogy. Her legacy includes quilts for each grandchild & great-grandchild, with the last quilt finished in her late 90’s. She also researched and wrote extensive histories for the Macdonald and Biebl-Walser-Marti Families. Above all else, Evelyn truly cherished her time spent with family. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her, blessed be her memory.

The family requests that memorials be made out to Brown County Historical Society, New Ulm Area Catholic Schools, or the donor’s choice.

Special thanks to the caregivers of Ridgeway on German, Woodstone of New Ulm, and Allina Hospice.
