Evelyn M. Thomas
Rochester
Evelyn Moland Thomas, 94, of Rochester went to be with our Heavenly Father on Wednesday (July 14, 2010).
Born in Alfred July 9, 1916, the daughter of Harold and June Burdick Moland, she was married on May 28, 1937 to Roger Thomas who predeceased her on August 17, 1989. She was also predeceased by two siblings in infancy and her son-in-law, Melvin Shaffer.
She was a 1934 graduate of Andover Central School and the Hearst Private Business School in Buffalo. She was the Village Clerk for the Village of Alfred from 1943-1963 when she resigned and accepted a position as the secretary to the elementary School principal at Alfred-Almond Central School. She retired from that job in 1972. She and her mother operated The Corner Grocery Store in Alfred from 1943-1951. Most of her life was spent in Alfred until she moved to Rochester in 2003 to be closer to her two daughters.
She had a zest for life and enjoyed her family, her church, knitting newborn caps for the nursery at Rochester General Hospital, watching the birds at her feeders and her many friends.
She was a member of the Alfred Station Seventh Day Baptist Church and a 65 year member of the Kanakadea-McArthur Chapter #626, Order of Eastern Star.
She is survived by two daughters, Susan Shaffer of Rochester, and Sally (Lewis) Mayes of Mendon, step grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren as well as several cousins and special friends.
