Mrs. Eva Marie Porcelli, age 97, formerly of Augusta, Georgia passed away on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, less than three weeks short of her 98th birthday. She was born on February 3, 1927, in Insterberg, Germany, the daughter of the late Fritz Alleschefsky and Johanna Heigel Alleschefsky. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband and a sister.
Eva was married for 59 years to the late Command Sergeant Major Peter V. Porcelli (CSM, USA Ret). The couple lived in Heidelberg, Germany; Camp Custer, Michigan; Camp Crowder, Missouri; Camp Zama, Japan; and Augusta, Georgia (Fort Gordon), where they spent over 40 years of their lives. In 2002 the couple moved to Stockbridge, Georgia to be close to family.
Eva was involved in numerous activities her entire life. She was a long-time member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Augusta and belonged to the German American and Italian American clubs. She also served as a Red Cross Volunteer and a member of the NCO Wives Club, serving as its president at numerous locations. Eva's hobbies included sewing, crocheting, reading, painting wooden folk-art figures, ceramics and playing bingo. She had a fantastic sense of humor and was fun to be around.
Her memory will be forever cherished by her son, Peter F. Porcelli (COL, USA Ret) (Marcia West Porcelli), Claudia Porcelli Lee (James M. Lee, LtCol, USMC Ret); 5 grandchildren: Peter F. Porcelli, Jr (Tiffany Porcelli), Meredith Porcelli Adams (Jonathan Adams), Matthew P. Porcelli (Elise Allen Porcelli), Melissa Porcelli Uribe, and Elizabeth Lee Harvey (Jake Harvey); 11 great grandchildren, and 11 nephews and nieces. Eva will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother and friend to all who knew her.
