MANCHESTER -- H. Everil Farrington, 91, died peacefully at her home on Meadow Hill Road, Sunday, Sept. 22, with her family at her side. She was born on Feb. 7, 1922, in Washington, the daughter of Lester and Frances Pendexter. Everil was predeceased by her husband, Harry Farrington Jr.; a son, Lawrence; two brothers, Carroll and Albert Pendexter; and her dearest lifelong friend, Madeline Farrington.

Everil spent most of her life as a devoted wife and exceptional grandmother. She always had time for her grandchildren. Many nights, a sheet tent in the middle of her bed was filled with her grandchildren. They could usually talk her into about anything and if she said no, then gramp would say yes and vice-versa. Her grandchildren will always remember the holiday decorations she had hanging all over her house. She was a past member of the Manchester Auxiliary. Relatives and friends may visit at Knowlton and Hewins Funeral Home, 1 Church Street, Augusta, 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday with a celebration of her life at 11 a.m. Burial will follow at the Manchester Forks Cemetery.
