Obituary for Henry W. Evonsion Sr.

Henry Walter Evonsion, 95, of Canton, husband of the late Barbara (Hansen) Evonsion, died Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at Cherry Brook Health Care Center. He was born October 23, 1925 in Hartford, son of the late Carl and Mary (NaRonyk) Evonsion and had been a lifelong resident of Canton. Mr. Evonsion was a Dairy Farmer at his family farm in North Canton for many years. He had a great love for the animals, and although he retired from milking cows at the age of 78, he could still be seen driving tractors well into his late 80s. He was a member of North Canton United Methodist Church, the North Canton Fire Department, and the Connecticut Milk Producers Association. Henry enjoyed his life on the farm and on occasion, getting to do some traveling.

He is survived by his two daughters, Diane Evonsion Tyburski and her husband Joe of South Carolina and Susie Baldwin and her husband Jay of Georgia; his son, David Evonsion of Canton; his sister, Eileen Baedor of North Canton; his grandchildren, Thomas, Michael and Megan Tyburski, Emily Evonsion and Brent and Paige Baldwin; five great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by a son, Henry W. Evonsion, Jr., three brothers and two sisters.

The family would like to thank Cherry Brook Health Care Center for the compassionate care they gave to Henry.
