She often fondly recalled her childhood sharing that although her family had little materially, their home was always filled love, laughter & family gatherings.

Evelyn worked a short time at Davidson Rubber Co, Dover, NH and later Sprague Electric Co. where she retired in 2000 after 33 years.

In 1959, she married the love of her life, Clarence “Blackie” Doiron. Together they shared 34 years of marriage.

A devout Catholic, Evelyn was a dedicated communicant of St. Ignatius Parish, where her faith guided her throughout her life. Evelyn fell in love so much with the Catholic faith that she enrolled in RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) where she received all three sacraments. Years later, she and her husband, Clarence renewed their wedding vows in the Catholic faith at St. Ignatius Parish. She and her family spent many vacations in Vermont at her family farm in Brownington, Vermont.

Above all, she was devoted to her family and was a proud grandmother, great-grandmother. Evelyn will be remembered for her love, her patience, and her pride in her family. She touched many lives with her warmth and grace and she will be dearly missed.
