Evelyn Mary Shade Obituary

Evelyn Mary (Desroches) Shade, 96, of Norwood, passed away peacefully on February 26, 2025, at her home surrounded by her loved ones. She spent her earlier years volunteering at Serve, where she made many wonderful friends and memories. Evelyn was a passionate cribbage player and had a love for creating. Sharp as a tack, she was known for her spitfire humor and never missed a beat. She had a spontaneous spirit and was always up for an adventure.

Evelyn is survived by her two children, William and Karen; seven grandchildren; and many great-grandchildren. She will be missed.
