Evelyn was born July 23, 1928, in Maysdorf, WY, South of Gillette, to Otice and Marie (Hackett) Clements.
She graduated from Campbell County High School in 1946, and married Calvin Sams on her 18th birthday, July 23, 1946. Evelyn and Cal spent the first years of their marriage on a ranch near Biddle, MT. They bought their own ranch in 1952, at Rockypoint, WY, where they lived until 2001. They then moved to Gillette where they have enjoyed retirement from ranch life. Evelyn was a kind, generous and loving person. She loved her family very much and looked forward to every visit, especially from her grandchildren. She was an avid gardener and always had a pantry full of the fruits of her labor. Her flower gardens were works of art. She also loved quilting and created many beautiful keepsakes for her family and friends. She was an extremely humble soul who spent most of her life in service to others.
Evelyn is survived by her husband, Cal; her sons: Mick (Lesley) Sams, and Norm (Darcy) Sams, both of Rockypoint, WY; grandsons: Thomas (Casey) Sams, and David (Jenn) Sams both of Gillette WY; granddaughters: Felicia, Cassie, Ashley, and Rachel Sams of Rockypoint, WY; brothers: Earl (Vera) Clements of Biddle, MT, Bud (Janet) Clements and Lester (Sharon) Clements, both of Gillette, WY; sister, Donna Malli; and many loving nieces and nephews.
