1914-2010 - Evelyn Walsh passed away peacefully at The Moncton Hospital on May 1st, 2010. Her last year and a half were spent at The Golden Years Estate, Salisbury Road, but Evelyn spent her entire life in Upper Coverdale. She is survived by her only son Austin Walsh, of Upper Coverdale, daughters; Margaret Walsh Salter of Vancouver, BC and Elizabeth Walsh of Lower Sackville, NS, two grand-daughters; Darla Somerville (Peter) of Unionville, ON, Shelley Dayton (Grant) of Upper Coverdale, NB, four great-grandchildren; Parker and Tyler Somerville of Unionville, ON, Myles and Madison Dayton of Upper Coverdale, NB, as well as several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents William and Louise (Jonah) Mitton, her loving husband of 39 years John "Jack" Walsh, who passed away in 1978, a girl in infancy, sister Celia Mitton, brothers; Harold Mitton (Marguerite) and Early Mitton (Charlotte). Evelyn was a life-long member of Coverdale United Church and will be remembered for her wit, her love of life and her spontaneity to go where ever the car was headed. She kept her mind sharp by completing the daily crypto quotes. Her cooking abilities will be remembered by the countless farm hands who worked on the Walsh Farm and the many guests who tasted her pies and cookies. She was active in the CO-OP Center since it's inception, the 4-H Club and she enjoyed socializing at quilting bee's, and games of crib & 45's. Her quiet time was spent gazing out her dining room window and from her veranda admiring the birds at her feeders.
