Evelyn B (Bradley) Jump

Evelyn was born on January 7, 1921 in Baltimore, Maryland to William L. Bradley and Ruth B. Snellings. Evelyn grew up in Fredericksburg, Virginia, as well as Baltimore, Maryland. She married Josiah Temple Jump, Nov. 6, 1943. They were married for nearly 60 years until Temple’s death on Oct. 27. 2003. Evelyn died at the Bayhealth Kent General Hospital in Dover, Delaware on July 14, 2018

Evelyn and Temple began their married life on a small farm outside of Camden-Wyoming, Delaware and later moved to Moore’s Lake near Dover in the early 1950’s. They had two sons: David T. Jump, who lives with his wife Linda in Dover, Delaware; and Donald B. Jump who lives with his wife Claudia in Philomath, Oregon. 

Evelyn worked as a secretary for various companies in the Dover area. In 1963, Evelyn and Temple purchased a 13-acre property on White’s Creek near Ocean View, Delaware. They transformed the property, which was an old pheasant farm, into Sandy Cove Camping Area. Sandy Cove was a family campground that provided rest and relaxation for countless campers. For nearly 30 years, Evelyn and Temple made many friends along with cherished memories while running the campground.
