After living frugally all her life, a woman built up a secret fortune that she left to the universities that shaped her career. Evelyn Lutz, known as “Evie,” quietly saved so she could give back to the thing that meant so much in her life: her education.
Evie grew up during the Great Depression and went on to put herself through college, first earning a bachelor’s degree in nursing from the University of Rochester, then a master’s degree from the University of Colorado. She went on to earn her doctorate from Case Western Reserve University in Ohio and had a career in nursing and as a professor and college administrator.

Lutz grew up in the midst of the Great Depression and, without any financial help from her family, earned a bachelor s degree in nursing from the University of Rochester and a master s degree from the University of Colorado before heading to Case Western Reserve University in Ohio to earn her doctorate.
She pursued a career in nursing and also became a professor and a college administrator to impart her wisdom to other students, according to Mower. Getting a college degree as a woman who grew up in the Great Depression was monumental in and of itself, but then to go on and get a master s degree as well as a doctorate is nothing short of extraordinary, Travis Leiker, senior director or development at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, told Fox News.
