PARKING

There is No Parking in empty sites or along roadsides, at any time, for any reason. We must keep the roadways clear for emergency vehicles, therefore there can be no exceptions. Also, because someone may get to their assigned site only to find it blocked by parked vehicles, we cannot allow this rule to be ignored.

Looking Ahead…

Passing of Mrs. T, Our Matriarch

Posted on August 3, 2019 by bowdishl — 8 Comments ↓

Passing of Mrs. T, Our Matriarch

Anna Grace Madden Tillinghast, 91,

died peacefully July 30 at her home in Glocester, RI, of pancreatic cancer.

Born in Somerset, Massachusetts, on June 19, 1928, to John Madden and Elizabeth Holt Madden, she was the sixth of seven children.

A graduate of Somerset High School, she earned a B.A. from the Rhode
Island School of Design in Landscape Architecture in 1951. On graduation, she then
established her own architectural practice, designing buildings and landscaping for
clients in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

She designed numerous residences around Ocean Drive and Cliff Walk in Newport, in addition, the windmill at Hammersmith Farm for Hugh and Janet Auchincloss.

She also worked with the Preservation Society of Newport County in their efforts to conserve colonial architecture.

An active supporter of the arts, Anna was a trustee of the RISD Museum, and also an early supporter of the Newport Music Festival.

On July 23, 1957 Anna married Alfred Earl Tillinghast. In 1970 they purchased land in Glocester, RI. Subsequently in the succeeding years with the assistance of their three children, they built a family campground, Bowdish Lake Camping Area.

In 1971, along with a group of friends and parents, Anna established The New
School, an independent school in Newport. Anna also served as the first president of the
school, now The Pennfield School in Portsmouth.

Mrs. T was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother who will be deeply missed.
She is survived by her three children and their spouses: Guy Tillinghast and wife Kelly of
Yarmouth, Maine; John Tillinghast and wife Carrie, of Glocester, RI; and Jane Sherman and
husband Bruce, of Washington, DC. She leaves five grandchildren: Sam, Meredith
and Christopher Sherman and Evelyn and Benjamin Tillinghast. She also leaves a
sister, Dorothy Madden, of Deerfield Beach, Florida.

At her request, Anna’s body has been donated to the Brown Medical School.

A memorial service will be held August 17 at 11:00 am at St Mary’s Episcopal Church, 324 East Main Road, Portsmouth, RI. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Pennfield School.
