Edith Victoria (Chaples) Sevon, 89, of Wadsworth Street, Thomaston, died June 7, 2018, at The Cushing Homestead in Cushing.

She is also survived by her dear friends, aka “The Girls.” They continued their monthly luncheons up until Edie’s passing. She also leaves her lifelong dear friend, Ruthie Peterson of Clark Island (one of the girls), who lovingly cared for her during the last eight months of her life. And she leaves her favorite handymen, brothers Alan and Scrappy Colson.

She was predeceased by her husband of 40 years, Arthur Sevon, who passed away last September; her parents; her sister, Elsie Chaples; and her son, Winslow Miller.
