An avid lover of, hiking, and nature,
Everett was often found on the trails of Patapsco State Park with his
son, Martin and his beloved dog, Tiger. He took immense pleasure in
baking and cooking for his family and friends, and fostered many a
treasured friendship with gifts of his delicious breads, soups and
cookies, pies, etc. Gardening, woodworking, and reading, as well as,
travel to many beautiful places throughout the US, brought Everett
great pleasure.
Ev's frequent trips “home” to MA
and Cape Cod to visit family, meant walks on Lighthouse Beach in
Chatham, and along the Cape Cod Canal, and making beautiful seafood
meals with sisters and brothers, leaving them with wonderful
memories and stories told with his wickedly- wry sense of humor.
During my time in Baltimore, the family learned that my sister, Margaret, had fallen and was in hospital with a fractured pelvis. Subsequently, she moved to a rehab facility and was slowly and painfully, making a recovery, with her dear daughters by her side. While undergoing rehab for her injury, it was decided that Margaret should have an MRI to explore why she fell, and to look at progress of her MS. After an interminable wait for results, on Friday June 14, I received a phone call to say the MRI had revealed that Margaret had Stage 4 lung cancer which had metastasized to her brain, liver and spine. This explained why the frequent falls were occurring, but it also presented a very grave diagnosis. Our courageous, beautiful sister, had very little time left. As she did everything in her life, Margaret, faced this all with grace and dignity, with her daughters and son around her. We quickly pulled together a reunion of the siblings and spent some very meaningful time with Margaret in early August. There was our usual strong love, laughter, sharing of stories, and poignant moments threaded through this precious time, to sustain us through this painful time of loss.. Our youngest brother, Sam, and his wife, Trish, were able to visit, as well.
Margaret Obituary
Love prevails here, even as it feels like deep grief, we move forward, carrying all that Ev and Margaret stood for in our hearts always. Brothers, Marty and Sam, and sisters Susan (Bebo) and Eleanor. Our close contact throughout all this time, has saved me, over and over. I love you all so much. Many cousins, friends and neighbors have been so very kind and thoughtful, too.
I am deeply grateful for the help of my immediate family, and the generosity extended to me, to make it possible to be with Ev and family, and especially to my brother-in-law, Stephen Haskell and sister-in-law, Trish. Your immediate help, love and caring sustained me in so many ways.
