Evelyn J. Jennings

It is impossible to summarize Evelyn's vibrant life into a few simple sentences. However, if you knew her, you would know that she was fiercely loyal, unapologetically opinionated, and gifted with the ability to show others a deep and profound love.

Evelyn graduated from Fellowsville High School, class of 1969. She retired from OEM Office in 2014, as an administration assistant. Evelyn loved cooking, cleaning, gardening and especially spending time with her grandchildren.

Evelyn had many titles in this life, she is survived by her husband of 54 years, D. Rolland, (Buck) Jennings; three children, Chris Jennings (fiancée Kim Murray), Laurel Mountain, Stacey Jennings Marshall (husband Laird), Shepherdstown and Craig Jennings (wife, Jessica), Kingwood; but above all titles most precious to her was the title of Nanny. Evelyn leaves behind three grandchildren, Cory Jennings (wife Darcy), Blake Jennings and Evelyn Jennings; two great-grandchildren, Casen Jennings and Huntlea Jennings; one sister, Pearl Sines and Jim, Terra Alta; and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Evelyn was preceded in death by three sisters, Virginia "Gin" Rhodes, Mary Louise Cool and Ella Mae McKendrick; and two brothers, Clyde Mitter and Erine Mitter.
