Eva Ozman Obituary
Grand Rapids, MI - Eva Mae Corey Ozman, age 99, of Grand Rapids, MI and originally from Indianapolis, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 3 at home surrounded by her family.
Eva was born in West Union, West Virginia on May 15, 1918 and is the daughter of Albert Corey and Louise Thomas. They moved shortly after her birth to Indianapolis where she grew up, raised a family and retired until she moved to Grand Rapids 12 years ago to be closer to family.

They had two children: Robert William Ozman, who preceded her in death, and Julie Karrip who is surviving. She has two granddaughters: Leslie Ayoub and Audrey (and Rev. Fr. James) King. She has three great-grandchildren.
While in Indianapolis, Eva was a long-standing member of the Order of the Eastern Star and served as its president. She was one of two remaining founding members of St. George Orthodox Church and a long-time active member, who served as its Ladies Society president. Eva enjoyed cooking, gardening and spending time with her family.

My earliest childhood memories include Eva. She was always part of our lives. My tonsillectomy, my wedding, my daughters' births, my parents 50th Anniversary, my daughter's graduation from high school, all included Eva, and often included one of her delicious treats. She knew how I loved her grape leaves! Our family used to call Eva and my mother "Lucy and Ethel." They were often up to some mischief! I remember holding baby Audrey when Eva became a grandmother and just stopping by Eva's house or the St, George Festival to visit with her. Eva, and her family, were our family, too. Eva was the kindest, sweetest, funniest, and most loving person I have been privileged to know. I love her dearly. She will be missed and never be forgotten. My condolences and prayers to Julie, Audrey, Leslie, and children. God bless all of you. I'm sorry I can't be with you today.
