ISLESBORO — Evelyn Grace Tigges, beloved first cousin of Lucille Tigges, passed away quietly in her sleep on May 8th, 2018. She was 71 years of age. Evelyn graduated from Braintree High School, and worked for Nikki, Inc. and Sheraton, Inc. until her retirement in 2006, when she moved to Islesboro.

She is survived by her brother David, and daughter Erika, both of whom live on the East Coast.

Evelyn was active with the Islesboro Baptist Sewing Circle, and was a very talented knitter. Her gentle temperament and calm patience will be much missed. Condolences may be shared with the family at www.longfuneralhomecamden.com.
