After living in Hopkins for a short time, Duane and Evonne made their home in Bloomington. Evonne was a very social person and enjoyed being part of Welcome Wagon and volunteering at Olson Jr. High. After her kids were older, Evonne began her real estate career with Barton Realty and later Edina Realty where she excelled and became a top producer in real estate sales. Evonne encouraged her son to become an agent as well and also only showed her children houses in Bloomington so they could have a great place to live!
