Evelyn Ann Naples, 63, of Newington passed away Saturday, September 9, 2017 at Hartford Hospital surrounded by her loving family.

A resident of Jefferson House in Newington for the last 2 years, she was born and raised in New Britain, CT and attended New Britain Schools. She is the daughter of the late William Naples and Elsie May (Hughes) Naples of New Britain.

Evie had a sweet and patient disposition.  She will be remembered for her gift of laughter and the joy she gave to so many others.  Evie’s love of family and music, especially the sounds of the sixties, was only rivaled by her love of word games and trivia.
