  OBITUARY: SCARBOROUGH— Evelyn Kristine Leighton, 93, died peacefully Friday, March 4, 2011, at Scarborough Terrace surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota January 7, 1918, the daughter of the late Ludwig and Eleanor Westwig of Norway. Evelyn was a first generation American and very proud of her Norwegian heritage. Evie, as many called her, moved to South Portland in 1938 with her family after graduating from Edison High School in Minneapolis, Minnesota. A short time later, Evelyn met the love of her life, Verdi L. Leighton. They were married for 53 years, until his death in 1993. They raised six children in Cape Elizabeth and York, ME. After her husband's death, she moved to Teal Point in Scarborough to be closer to her family and lived in her condo independently before moving to Scarborough Terrace a couple of years ago. Evelyn was very creative and talented with a multitude of hobbies. Her handmade projects included knitting, quilting, crewelwork, embroidery, rug hooking, painting, canning, and sewing, all self-taught. She was a wonderful cook and always enjoyed feeding a crowd. Other interests were reading, dancing, bowling, golfing, gardening and traveling all over the world with her husband and friends. Evelyn was a deaconess at the First Parish Church in York. She was a lifelong member of the Sons of Norway, various garden clubs and quilting and rug hooking groups. She is survived by her loving children, Bruce F. Leighton (Yvonne) of Olongapo, Philippines, Miriam A. Ayers (Robert) of Scarborough, David A. Leighton (Heather) of Naples, Deborah J. Ragozzino (Pat) of Rexford, NY, Barbara L. Anatra (Joseph) of Wellington, FL and Jeffrey S. Leighton (Susan) of Scarborough, her beloved sister, Helen L. Wallace (Cmdr. Robert Wallace, USN Ret) of Virginia Beach, VA; her sister-in-law, Elizabeth H. Furlong (Charles) of York, 14 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. She also leaves several nieces and nephews. A grandson, Robert Leighton predeceased her. Evelyn leaves behind many wonderful caregivers who provided continual dedication, love and support that enhanced her quality of life. A very special thank you to all those of Scarborough Terrace and Hospice of Southern Maine for providing this care. With Evelyn's passing, we remind others that her long life was one to be celebrated. Graveside services and interment will take place at the First Parish Cemetery, York, at a later date.
