Date of Death: October 8, 2024
Date of Birth: September 3, 1948
Our loving mother, Evedene E. Leech of Brunswick, Maine passed away peacefully Oct. 8th, 2024, with her family at her side. She was born Sept. 3rd, 1948, to the late Linwood & Hilda McGray. She was raised with her two brothers and one sister on Elm St. in Topsham where neighbors were like family.
Ev was known for her love of cooking & baking, flower arranging and was an avid bowler for many years at Yankee Lanes. The friends made through her women's leagues have remained like a 2nd family. The ladies have maintained an incredible friendship, and the love and support they have shared with each other has been a true blessing to each of them and their families. Ev's legacy will always be her unwavering devotion to her family, a testament to the beautiful life she has lived.
She loved being a mother to her children Rick & Kim, but her absolute favorite title was Grandmother. Her world was complete when Allan, Taylor and Ryley were born, and Grandma became her name. Her love for them made her heart full.
Evedenes passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who knew her, but her spirit and her strong faith will continue to inspire and guide us. Her laugh, her love of life and her ability to make everyone feel cherished and loved will be missed, but never forgotten.
She is survived by her daughter Kim (Sheryl) of Ocala, Florida and son Rick (Jennifer) of Bowdoinham, Maine and grandchildren Allan, Taylor and Ryley Leech. She also leaves behind brothers Duane (Sue), Moe (Carolyn) and sister Roxanne (Ron) along with several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by father Linwood, Mother Hilda, sister-in-law Evelyn and niece Keri McGray.
Family and friends are invited to attend her service at the United Baptist Church located at 1 Elm St Topsham Maine on Tuesday October 15th at 11:00 am with a reception to follow downstairs.
Anyone that would like to send flowers can have them delivered to 57 Center St. Bowdoinham, Maine 04008. The family will deliver to the church ahead of the service.
