Eva Mae Sexton

Today I learned about the passing of Ms. Sexton. My heart bleeds with sadness and breaks with pain. With that said, she was a blessing to so many, a mentor, and an inspiration. The Sojourner Group featured her on our calendar in 2015. I'm thankful that she agreed to be a part of this great history. Thank you for sharing your mother with Salt lake City.

I attended your service today Eva and it was beautiful. I know you would have been embarrassed by the attention and the accolades. But you deserved everything that was said and done today and more. There will never be another woman like you. You have touched so many lives for the better - mine included! I will carry your memory, the experiences we shared and the stories you shared with me forever. I know that you were greeted with "Well done, my good and faithful servant." My thoughts,...

Dennis and Bobbie and family,

I have great memories of your mother--her striking green eyes, her faith in Jesus Christ, and her love for all people. It was an honor to be in her home as we spent time with some of her foster children. What a remarkable woman! We will miss her. I hope you find solace in knowing that she has gone home to that God who gave her life.

So sorry for your loss, it's never an easy thing to lose an angel. My thoughts are with you.

My condolences to Eva's family. I was fortunate to be childhood friend of Henry Albert and Dennis. I lived across the street from the Sexton's and Brown's. I was truly blessed to have Eva share her home and kindness to me and my family. I never realized how accomplished she was in her life pursuits, until I read her obituary. Thank goodness for trailblazers like her.
