Evelyn Pauline Mams Kilduff of Elkins, passed away at approximately 12:54 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2016.

She was currently residing at Colonial Place in Elkins, where she enjoyed the frequent visits from Robin Mams, retired nurse, and wife of Frank Mams, DDS, nephew, of Elkins; and Lulu, a beloved therapy dog.

Evelyn is survived by two nephews, Frank Mams, DDS of Elkins and John Wolf of North Carolina; four nieces, Cathy Orndorff of Morgantown, Franny King of Waynesburg, Pa., Tamara Mams of Williamsburg, Va., and Frances Wolf of New York; as well as many great-nieces, great-nephews, great-great nieces and great-great nephews, wonderful neighbors, dear friends, sorority sisters and exceptional caregivers.

Evelyn was born in Elkins, April 22, 1926, on First Street. She attended local public school and St. Brendan Catholic Church. She helped her father, Frank Mams, lumber foreman of Moore Kemple lumber camps in Adolph, care for the horses at the lumber camp as a young girl. She was devoted to the care and well-being of her father, Frank Mams of Elkins, after her mother passed away.

Evelyn married Timothy “Jay” Kilduff May 21, 1966 at St. Brendan Catholic Church, Elkins. The newly married couple then moved to Washington, D.C., where Jay held a position working for a government defense firm. After seven years of being married, Jay suddenly passed away. Evelyn returned to Elkins.

Evelyn held several positions during her many years of employment with Citizens Bank before she retired. She enjoyed watching various sports and socializing with her many friends and several sorority sisters.

Evelyn was very close with her brother Joseph Mams of Elkins, who predeceased her. Evelyn was the youngest of five siblings, all of whom she outlived, Helen Mams Wolf of New York, Virginia Mams of New York, Carl Mams of Virginia, and Joseph Mams of  Elkins.

Evelyn and her infectious smile will be greatly missed.
