Marjorie C. Evans, age 99, died at her home in Greenville, DE, on August 28, 2008, two months shy of her 100th birthday.
Born in Yorkshire, England, “Marj” was the widow of Myrddyn H. Evans, the former general manager of the Diamond State Telephone Company, whose family were longtime residents of West Pittston. Known for her sense of humor and straight talk, Marj was active in many volunteer organizations throughout her long life, from the Girl Scouts in West Pittston to historic preservation work in the Wilmington, DE, area.
She is survived by a daughter, Ethel L. Lipsitz, of New York, NY; a son, Arthur B. Evans, of Duxbury, MA; six grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held in Greenville at a later date.
Donations may be sent to The Myrddyn and Marjorie Evans Scholarship Endowment Fund at Wyoming Seminary, Office of Development, 201 N. Sprague Ave., Kingston, 18704-3593 or to a charity of your choice. Arrangements are by McCrery Funeral Home, Wilmington, DE.
