Evelyne “Twinnie” Welch, of West Roxbury and formerly of Jamaica Plain, died peacefully on September 20, 2019 at the Sherrill House in Boston.
Born October 22, 1917 to Eva and Howard Gordon, Evelyne lived in Chelsea MA with her seven siblings including her twin sister Ethelyne, until she married David Welch. Dave, the love of her life, predeceased her in 1981.
Evelyne’s hands were always busy whether is was sending handwritten letters, embroidering her special blankets for family and friends or constantly doing laundry. Her summers were spent in Maine with family, and sitting in the swing overlooking Maple Juice Cove were some of her fondest memories. She was truly loved by her family and friends.
She is survived by her daughter Nancy Levy, and her husband Sumner, her beloved granddaughter Shannon Teles and her husband Claudiney and her three great grandchildren Lucas, Leo and Oliver, as well as many nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be held at Woodlawn Cemetery in Everett MA on Wednesday, September 25, 2019 at noon. A celebration of life open to family and friends will be held following the ceremony.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in Evelyne’s name to:
