ANDOVER – Evan Brodie, MD, 77, of Andover, died peacefully at home on October 10, 2020, surrounded by his family. Born in Beverly, MA, on February 15, 1943, to Sidney and Rose Brodie, Evan graduated from Beverly High School in 1960 and Williams College in 1964. He went on to earn his MD from the University of Rochester School of Medicine, where his classmate’s wife-to-be, Judy Lamphere, introduced him to Paula Scarsella. He found Paula’s warm good nature and easy laugh endearing. She found Evan’s smarts and utter lack of pretense irresistible. She knew nothing about Chinese food and he was something of an authority. A year later, in 1968, they were married.
Yet for all his accomplishments, Evan, by his own admission, was organizationally challenged. Each day brought a new missing item: car keys, wallet, eyeglasses, sometimes all three; Paula would find them.
In addition to his wife Paula Brodie of Andover, Evan is survived by his children and their spouses: Jeffrey Brodie of Corte Madera, CA; Jennifer Brodie Seward and Lindsay Seward of So. Hamilton; Rachel Brodie and Mike Foote of Richmond, VT. Also surviving him are his sister Judith Brodie and her husband Merv Richard of Washington, DC, and his grandchildren: Sydney, Maggie, and Hallie Brodie, Olivia Seward, River Foote, and Isla Brodie. His sister Sheila Zetlan of Andover predeceased him.
