Evelyn Devison Obituary
Evelyn Anne Devison
North Sydney
It is with profound sadness that our family announce the peaceful passing of our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, Evelyn Devison, on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at the age of 80.
Born in Grantown-on-Spey, Scotland, on July 22, 1943, Evelyn was the daughter of the late Charles and Annie (Davidson) Hayward.
Evelyn was a devoted wife to the love of her life, her late husband John. She dedicated her life to her daughters and son, and her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her other passion was her work, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Harbourview Hospital in Sydney Mines for many years, well past her retirement. Evelyn will be remembered as a kind, compassionate, and generous person with a wonderful sense of humor, who made a difference in the lives of so many. Her legacy of love and service will live on through her friends and family and the countless patients whose lives she touched during her career as a nurse.
Evelyn and her late husband John loved to spend time in their younger years camping with family and spent many summers in Ingonish. They both loved to travel and usually had family surrounding them. Evelyn always talked about seeing her place of birth and in 2016 was fortunate to visit Scotland.
She was a member of St. Matthew Wesley United Church, and a member of the Mary Unit of the United Church Women (UCW) for many years.
Evelyn is survived by her daughters Kathy (Hugh John) Chisholm, Pamela (Doug) MacLeod and her son John (Monica Maletz).
