Mary Gwythian Evill died peacefully in the early morning of Oct. 18 at the Sacred Heart Home in New Bedford.

Gwythian was born on Aug. 27, 1929 and raised in England and came to the United States in 1967, joining her husband, William J. Evill at St. Mark’s School in Southborough. Bill was a member of the Classics Department and also served as Head of School in 1979.

Upon retirement from St. Mark’s, Gwythian and Bill moved to Marion. They were active members of the Kittansett Club and avid birders, volunteering at Manomet Bird Banding. Following Bill’s death in 2004, Gwythian remained in their Allen St. home until 2014 when she moved to The Residence at Cedar Dell in Dartmouth.

She is survived by three nieces, Philippa Gerret, Carolyn Arnold and Clare Maher, all of whom live in England.

Services and burial are private. Donations in her memory can be made to Manomet Bird Banding, 125 Manomet Point Road, Plymouth, MA 02360.
