Edith Lorrene Evans of Edgewood, Maryland, went home to be with Jesus on November 15, 2025.

Born in Sparta, North Carolina, January 18, 1935 she was the daughter of the late Ray Alonzo Evans and Cynthia Mae (Crouse) Evans.

Edith was the heart and soul of her family. Among her many interests, she enjoyed gardening, canning, and reading, but she especially shined in the kitchen. An amazing cook and baker, she poured love into everything she made.

Her family especially loved her spiced peach jam, chocolate pies, carrot cake and her blueberry and cherry cheesecakes. Hosting cookouts, holidays, and special occasions for her family brought her tremendous joy.

Edith took great pride in creating a warm, welcoming home. She had a natural talent for decorating, and nothing made her happier than spending time with family and friends.

Her favorite places were the sunlit shores of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and the beautiful mountains of her beloved Sparta, North Carolina.

Over a span of 25 years, Edith worked in several retail positions, including Taetles, Fashion Bug, and C-Mart, where she formed many lifelong friendships.

She will be fondly remembered for her kind heart, quiet strength, wise counsel, and generous spirit.

Edith is survived by her daughter, Pamela Skrocki, and son-in-law Kenneth; her son, Larry Cage, and daughter-in-law Phyllis; and her sisters, Lois Carder (Donald) and Darlene Carter (Cortley).

She leaves behind six grandchildren: Rebecca Williams (Jacob), Matthew Skrocki (Madison), Jennifer Reese, Will Cage, Larry G. Cage, and Marianne Parker (Randy), ten great-grandchildren; and one great-great grandson.

She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and by her son, William Dale Cage.

The family would like to express their deepest appreciation to those who visited Edith faithfully: Her sisters Lois Carder and Darlene Carter; nieces Shelbie LeBeau and Sherry McGonigal; Michael McGonigal and cousin Patty Myers. Your presence brought love, comfort, compassion, and companionship during the last 3 very difficult years of Edith’s life.

Edith’s warm presence will be deeply missed by all who loved her. We look forward with hope and joy to an amazing reunion with her in Heaven.

Over the past few days, we have witnessed our entire community come together to honor and pay tribute to a truly remarkable man.

More than 1,400 people came through to pay their respects to Chuck Boyle and to support his family, and over 600 gathered at St. Margaret’s for a beautiful and heartfelt celebration Mass.

It was an honor for our family to play a part in Chuck’s tribute and to continue the long-standing relationship we’ve shared with the Boyle family over so many years.

In many ways, it felt only fitting that Chuck made one final trip to Maryland Golf & Country Club — a place so meaningful to him — to complete this very special day.

Our continued prayers and blessings go out to Pat and the entire Boyle family. May they find comfort and peace in the love that surrounds them.

Albert C. Broccolo and Charlene M. Broccolo

Albert Christopher Broccolo, age 64, and his beloved wife, Charlene Mary Broccolo (née Divel), age 62, passed together on Friday, November 7, 2025.

Together, Al and Char built a beautiful life filled with laughter, love, family, and friendship. They were devoted parents to their children, Lauren (Elizabeth) Broccolo and Joseph (Casey) Broccolo, and proud grandparents—known affectionately as “Poppy” and “Mammie”—to Hayes, Alex, Addie, and Millie.

Albert “Al” Broccolo was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to the late Joseph and Mary (Fitzpatrick) Broccolo. He was the beloved neighborhood mailman whom the community depended on, always ensuring their mail arrived on time. He never walked his route without a treat in his pocket for the pets he adored. Al retired as a Letter Carrier from USPS in 2020 after 30 years of dedicated service.

He loved cooking out, trying new recipes, golfing, and watching local sports—including the Ravens, Orioles, and other Maryland teams. His greatest joy was spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, and making people laugh. Al welcomed everyone into his home with warmth, kindness, and an easygoing spirit. He loved traveling and making memories with Charlene, and the two shared a deep love of music and attending concerts together. He was cherished by countless friends, neighbors, and loved ones.

Charlene “Char” Broccolo was born in Baltimore, Maryland to the late George Lemuel Divel Sr. and Alvina Kathryn (Dunn) Divel, and later lovingly embraced by the late Theodore “Greg” Norris. Charlene began working at Kennedy Krieger on May 10, 1979, at just 16 years old, and devoted over 45 years to the organization. Her exceptional dedication earned her the George H. Thomas Extraordinary Service Award.

Charlene held many roles in Finance before becoming the Director of Business Operations for Kennedy Krieger’s Clinical and Community Programs. In 2022, she stepped back to spend more time with her family, transitioning into her role as Manager of Business Operations for the same programs.

She loved to dance, travel, go on cruises, relax at the beach, and she could often be found “up the road” at the casino. She had a deep love for Christmas and was an enthusiastic fan of Hallmark movies. Above all, her greatest joy was her grandchildren and her family.

Together, Al and Char shared a life rich in music, travel, friendship, and love. Their home was always full of laughter, open doors, and open hearts.

They are survived by their loving children and grandchildren; Al’s sister, Maria Sell (Michael); and Char’s siblings, George (Jean) Divel Jr., William (Janet) Divel, Darlene Woodward, Kathleen (Robert) Meadows, Marlene Shull, and Pauline (Joseph) Gugliotta. They are also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Al was preceded in death by his sisters, Phyllis Prochazka and Shirley Hott; and his brother-in-law, James Prochazka.
