Evva was such a wonderful lady, neighbor and friend. She was always so gracious, empathetic, supportive and was always available when someone needed assistance or just to talk. Her smiling face was always an inspiration on how to approach life. She was so kind hearted and warm that she will truly be missed. The love and pride she always shared regarding her family was inspiring. I am sure she is surrounded by many loved ones who have passed on before and I know she is an asset to Heaven!
God Bless Evva and Until We Meet Again in Heaven!

Evva was my dear friend and neighbor for years. We shared a love of reading and I counted on her to recommend books. She often invited me over for visits and tea. I started cutting her hair at some point and continued this after she moved to her assisted living home. She would invite me to have lunch with her there. As it became harder for her to communicate I always seemed to know what she was trying to say. Sadly I lost touch with her in her final years but thought of her so often. She was a lovely sweet and kind soul. I miss her.
