Evelyn Marie Adams, 94, of Tall Timbers, MD died on Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at her home surrounded by her loving family.
She was born January 26, 1921 in Cedar Point, MD and is the daughter of the late John Clyde Jarboe and Minnie Fenhagen.
On January 25, 1941, Evelyn married her beloved husband, Thomas Leroy “Kilroy” Adams, Sr. They celebrated over 63 wonderful years of marriage before his death in February 2006. She was employed at Patuxent River Naval Air Station as a draftsman until her retirement on February 27, 1981. Evelyn and her late husband Leroy were Tobacco farmers and kept a large garden of vegetables throughout their marriage that they shared with everyone. She enjoyed preparing the family meals and she always cooked large meals, often spending all day in the kitchen in order to provide a banquet style meal for everyone and all were welcomed to dine at her home. Like most great cooks from this generation she never used a measuring cup for any of her recipes and everything was always perfect. She was known for her Stuffed Ham, Fried Chicken, Crab Imperial and her world famous sweet tea. Sports were always a large part of the Adams household with a game on almost every day, however her favorite was baseball, especially her beloved Orioles and she knew every player’s name on the team. She loved to cross stitch and made many fabulously detailed patterns that were given as gifts to friends and relatives. Evelyn enjoyed the telling of stories about her early life growing up on a farm in Cedar Point and St. Mary’s City with her brothers and sisters. Evelyn was a lifelong Catholic and member of St. George’s Catholic Church for over 55 years. Leroy and Evelyn could be seen every Saturday evening in the 3rd pew and would often visit with friends after Mass up at the store. Evelyn never had a bad word to say about anyone and spent her life in devotion to her church and family. Taking care of people is what she excelled at, her devotion to Leroy and Buster cannot be stated in words, her life revolved around them. Evelyn was a loving and committed wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who will be missed by all that ever had the privilege of making her acquaintance.
Evelyn is survived by her children, Patricia Gardner of Crofton, MD, Gloria Jean Wilcox of Great Mills, MD, Frances Lyons of Henderson, NV, and Thomas LeRoy “Buster” Adams Jr. of Tall Timbers, MD; six grandchildren and 11great grandchildren. In addition to her parents and husband, she is also preceded in death by all of her brothers and sisters.
Family will receive friends on Friday, October 9, 2015 from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at St. George’s Catholic Church, 19199 St. George’s Church Road, Valley Lee, MD 20692.
