Susan Evans was a college-educated social worker who attended higher education in Chicago and trained at a settlement house there. She was a member of the Chicago organization, the Civic League of Chicago, which was said to be the model for the Phyllis Wheatley Club of Buffalo.
In 1899, she co-founded the Phyllis Wheatley Club of Colored Women in Buffalo and was the club's first president. She gave the official welcome address to members of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs when it held its second biennial conference in Buffalo in July 1901 during the Pan American Exposition of 1901. Mrs. Evans was elected as the organization's 2nd. National Recording Secretary at this conference. She later directed the settlement house that the Phyllis Wheatley Club of Colored Women founded in Buffalo in 1905.
