Madeline N. Evans, 90

Madeline N. Evans, 90 years old, passed away at her home in Grafton New Hampshire, on Sept, 20, 2019.

Madeline was born in Enfield, New Hampshire, the daughter of Alvy and Lena (Bill) Wheeler. She grew up in the Enfield area and was married to Robert N. Clough on March 8, 1947, and they spent 40 years in the Enfield area together until his death, raising eight children.

During her years in Enfield, Madeline spent years working at the Baltic Mill, Split Ball Bearing and retired from the Hanover Terrace. Madeline was, during her years in Enfield, a member of the Montcalm Grange.

Madeline remarried on Sept. 22, 1990, to Fred Evans and they enjoyed nearly 29 happy years with one another until her death, living and traveling to many places around the country. Madeline and Fred spent years living in Montana, Arizona, Washington and Florida, and eventually chose to settle back down in Croyden and Grafton, New Hampshire, during their retired years.

Madeline loved sports and rarely missed a chance to watch the Red Sox or Patriots, often cheering the loudest. She loved reading and playing games, enjoyed crocheting and dearly loved animals. She was always the first person to greet you with a cheerful hello and a smile when you walked in the door. Madeline was devoted to her family and will be greatly missed by her family and those who knew her.

Madeline was a wonderful, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, and was predeceased by her first husband, Robert Clough.

Madeline is survived by her husband, Fred Evans; her daughters, Kathleen Perrin of Canaan, New Hampshire, Diane Hagar of Lebanon, New Hampshire, and Betty Waddell of Springfield New Hampshire; her sons, Robert Clough of The Villages, Florida, Wendall Clough of Grafton, Frank Clough of Grafton, Michael Clough of Claremont, New Hampshire, and William Clough of Tallahassee, Florida; as well as by her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Madeline’s favorite flowers were carnations. In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to the Upper Valley Humane Society.

Per Madeline’s wishes, a service will be held at 11 a.m. on Oct. 5, at the Enfield Methodist Church.

There will be a gathering announced later.
