Eva Veres Obituary
She married her loving husband, Steve nearly 60 years ago on Sept. 30, 1950. Together with their daughter, Eva, they heroically escaped communism in their native country during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising to embrace the freedoms of all Americans here in the United States.
Eva was an inspector at Ford Motor Company at the Rawsonville Plant in Ypsilanti for 20 years.
She was a life member of the Hungarian-American Cultural Center in Taylor.
Everyone who knew Eva would attest to her flair for cooking and even more so, baking. Once you sampled Eva's pastries, there was nothing to compare. She had an innate talent that could not be taught. Surely the Lord will be eating well in Heaven now that she is with Him.
Eva's interests included listening to music, pontooning, going to the beach with Apa, chatting on the phone with friends and playing cards. Above all, she was a loyal Red Wing Fan, a true "Wing Nut".
Eva was very proud of her home and garden in Traverse City as well as her condo in Bradenton, Fla. She took such great care that family, friends and neighbors admired the fruits of her endeavors. Eva will forever be in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
Surviving Eva is her family, husband of 59 years, Steve "Apa"; daughter, Eva (Thomas) Pointe of Traverse City; son, Steve Veres Jr. of Belleville; two sisters, Marta (Alex) Mohacsi of Ypsilanti and Ida (Gyula) Risz of Budapest, Hungary.
A memorial service will take place at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 31, 2010, at the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home, with visitation held one hour prior. Fr. Kenneth Stachnik will serve as officiant.
Memorial contributions may be directed to St. Francis Catholic Church.
Please sign Eva's online guestbook at www.reynolds-jonkhoff.com.
The family is being served by the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home.
