Interment, private. Evelyn was born in Bethlehem, St. Croix, USVI to Paney Boynes and Ancelina Bastian. She relocated to St. Thomas in 1955 where she met Philip Herbert and they got married. She had 4 children from this marriage, Laurencia, Donald, Brenda and Tyrone Herbert. (Donald and Philip presided her in this life.) Ma began her working career with the Head Start Program, where she taught for a few for a few years before moving on to the then Vitelco Telephone Company for many years. She moved on to work for the Department of Education at Washington Elementary School which was renamed Evelyn Marcille School as a Paraprofessional. She continued her career there for 25 years until her retirement in 1996. She then spent most of her time doing volunteer work for the church, St. Andrews Espicopal Church. Ma enjoyed her retirement by visiting her family on St. Croix, USVI, and the US, along with several cruises. In addition, she raised three of her grandchildren. She was the matriarch of our family, steadfast in her beliefs and values which she instilled in her children. Thank you Ma, You are now among the elders, family and friends that have preceded, "MAY YOU REST IN ETERNAL PEACE."
