Bertie Evelyn

Cable

Bertie “Evelyn” Cable, 96, of Kittery, Maine, died August 1, 2026, at Durgan Pines care facility.

Evelyn was born to Leo and Edith Denney on December 6, 1928, in Henry County, Indiana, the youngest of six children.

She married Kenneth Dale Cable, a sailor in the U.S. Navy, in 1947. As a Navy wife, she followed his assignments to California, Tennessee, Virginia, and Greece, where the family lived for three years. With Kenneth often at sea for months at a time, she kept the household running and raised their two sons. In 1967, the family settled in Kittery, Maine, where Evelyn would live in the same house and remain active in the Seacoast community for almost 60 years.

Evelyn managed the Young World children's store on Congress St. and later managed jewelry stores and custom clothing outlets. She was an independent Mary Kay beauty consultant for more than 30 years, and her annual Christmas open house was a special joy she would plan for months ahead.

A lifetime member of the Order of the Eastern Star, she was also an active member of Seacoast Community Church for 35 years, where she helped run the food pantry for more than two decades. An avid reader with a gift for words and numbers, she studied Latin for the pleasure of it and could calculate sale margins in her head.

Evelyn is survived by her sons, Stephen Cable and Jeffrey Cable, and his wife, Linda; four grandchildren, Lisa, Jeffrey, London, and Greyson; 13 great-grandchildren; and seven great-great-grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her parents; her five siblings; Kenneth Dale Cable; her daughter-in-law, Maurine; her granddaughter Jessica; and her great-grandson Alex.

A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Seacoast Community Church.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Seacoast Community Church General Fund.
