Born and raised in Camden, New Jersey, Bertha Violet Davis Eachus,

lovingly known as Dolly, passed away peacefully on December 2,

2024, at the age of 83 in North Carolina. She was the cherished

daughter of Violet N. Davis, granddaughter of Bertha and Arthur G.

Davis, and devoted childhood sweetheart and wife of Ralph E.

Eachus, affectionately called "Each."

Dolly is survived by her beloved family: her son, Ralph W. Eachus,

and his wife Tara Eachus; her daughter, Debora A. Eachus, and her

husband Francis Bolletino; her treasured grandchildren, Valerie A.

Eachus, Logan E. Eachus, and Ashley A. Kreider; and her great-

grandson, Harry Eckhardt. She also leaves behind a loving extended

family of nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless relatives and

friends whose lives she touched deeply.

Anyone who met Dolly quickly fell in love with her vibrant spirit.

Whether she was at home raising her children, celebrating the

holidays, enjoying family vacations, or soaking in the sun at her

favorite place—Wildwood, New Jersey—Dolly was always the life of

the party. Her infectious laughter, quick wit, and her trademark

phrase, “You got that right,” brought joy to everyone around her.

To know Dolly was to love her. She had a unique way of making

everyone feel welcomed and cherished with her warm heart and

loving nature. Her bright and funny personality made the world a

better, happier place. Though she has left this world, Dolly's

memory and love will forever live on in the hearts of her family and

all who knew her. Her legacy continues through her children,

grandchildren, and the countless lives she brightened along the

way. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
