She had been a resident of the Lakeview House Nursing Home for the past five years where she was lovingly cared for. Evelyn was born to the late Joseph and Yvonne (Bourgeois) Chabot in Lawrence, MA on March 4, 1928. A lifelong devout Catholic, Evelyn completed her final vows as a religious Sister and joined the Good Shepherd Sisters of Quebec. Throughout her 25 years of service, she was able to support the community by helping the poor and teaching in schools in Biddeford and Van Buren, Maine and in Tennessee. Evelyn returned to Lawrence in 1972 where she spent 20+ years teaching 7th grade Science at the Donald P. Timony School in Methuen. Additionally, she supported her local parish as a CCD teacher at Saint Ann’s Church in Lawrence.
