(Age 91) Born in Middle Stewiacke on April 10, 1922, she was the daughter of the late Andrew and Susan (Glawson) Brenton. Evie worked for Maritime Tel and Tel in Halifax, where she lived until her retirement in 1981. She then moved to South Side Big Baddeck and resided with her dear friend, Margaret Hanam. She enjoyed travelling, golfing and playing cards. She made many friends while living in the Baddeck area, especially close in the later years were Pam Mackay and Marilyn MacLeod.
