August 25, 1938 - August 9, 2021

Evelyn was born in Hooping Harbour to Alfred and Bessie Pollard on August 25, 1938. She went to St. Anthony at age 15 and worked in the hospital with the Grenfell Mission. She later returned to Englee and worked at the hospital there. It was in Englee that she met her Sweetheart, Elias Cassell. Together they moved to Little Harbour Deep from 1957-1964. In 1964 they again returned to Englee where she worked on the fish plant for a short time. She was a homemaker who often would babysit and care for other children. She loved to knit, crochet, and loved her puzzle books. She attended church faithfully as it was her number 1 priority. She did not have any children of her own but was like a second mother to her sister Fannie’s 8 children, whom she loved- and they loved her too. She passed peacefully away at the White Bay Central Health Centre in Roddickton, NL on August 9, 2021 at the age 82 years.
