On Feb. 1, 2003, when the Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart just minutes before its scheduled return to earth; America lost seven heroes. Evelyn Husband, wife of Columbia’s commander Rick Husband, lost much more—the love of her life, the father of her children, the backbone of her family. On February 18, 2016, at the Monterey Foundation Gifted Servants Dinner, Evelyn will share how her faith guided her and her children though this personal and national tragedy.
The extraordinary grace with which Evelyn has handled this tragedy and the unexplainable peace she has experienced in the midst of her suffering have made Evelyn an inspiration to millions of people across the country and an endearing figure worldwide. Author of High Calling: The Courageous Life and Faith of Space Shuttle Columbia Commander Rick Husband (Thomas Nelson, 2004) and noted speaker, Evelyn travels encouraging audiences with her story of triumph over tragedy and her message of finding hope in the midst of life’s trials.
Both Evelyn and Rick graduated from Texas Tech University.
