Relationships

Evelyn is married to George, and lives with her grandson Alex. Alex's deceased mother Clara was Evelyn's daughter.

In Evelyn's nightstand is a note written to her addressed as Momma. The note reads:

“Momma- If you're reading this, it means I've passed on. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Know that I love you both.

Don't be too upset, I'm with Yoba now.

My final request: take care of Alex. He needs a family, something stable. He's a good kid.

Love, Clara”

This is possibly a note from Evelyn's daughter, Clara, who is the mother of Alex. Clara passed away and left Alex to live with Evelyn and George.

In the beginning of Stardew Valley, when meeting all the townspeople, Evelyn will give you permission to call her "Granny".

“I used to love looking at the clouds, but I have trouble seeing them these days. My eyes just don't work as well as they used to.”

I know you're just getting started as a gardener, so I wanted to give you a little tip.

Most crops only grow in one season. When summer arrives, your spring crops will all die out. So plan ahead!

-Granny Evelyn”

Winter

“Aren't you cold? You should wear a thicker jacket, my dear! This weather isn't good for my joints...”

“We've lived here for over 30 years. We've seen a lot of people come and go. Your grandfather, for one. Bless him... *sigh*”
“Oh... my dear. You have your grandfather's eyes... Yes... yes... I knew him very well.”
