Nelda Eves Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Nelda was a devoted member of Christ Gospel Church. At home and upon any other given opportunity, she joyfully shared her musical gifts as an anointed pianist. She loved her music deeply-so much so that she often played for her beloved plants, filling her home with both song and life. With a green thumb and a nurturing spirit, Nelda found joy in gardening, cherishing the miracle of seeing withered things restored and thriving again. In the same way, she poured love and encouragement into everyone she met, becoming a true beacon of hope to family, friends, and all blessed to know her.
Nelda was preceded in death by her former husband and dear friend, Charles A. Eves, Sr; her son, John D. Eves; her sister, Mary Stanton; and her brother, Jimmy E. Stewart. Nelda leaves behind a legacy of love and faith that will be cherished forever by her children: Charles A. Eves (Damaris), Anita K. Eves, Rufus Eves (Ai), and Birgitta Lindsey; her sister, Martha Waldrep; ten grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will take place at 11 AM on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at Christ Gospel Church (2614 E. 10th Street, Jeffersonville). Visitation will be held 4–8 PM on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, at Scott Funeral Home (2515 Veterans Parkway, Jeffersonville), and from 10 AM until service time at the church on Thursday. Burial will follow in Walnut Ridge Cemetery.
Nelda Sue will be remembered for her faith, her music, her tender care, and the boundless love she spread throughout her life.

My sister and I feel like we have lost a friend, mother, sister- all rolled into one. We loved our dear Nelda so very much. Her contagious laughter, her faith that she shared and taught, her wisdom, her willingness to listen to our problems and share hers with us, also. All of these things made Nelda a part of our lives and hearts. We are happy that she is with Jesus, but she will leave a hole in our hearts the size of her home state of Texas. She took such good care of our mother but she took wonderful care of us, too. She was family. But then Nelda loved people and never met a stranger, so everyone was family to her. We will love you forever and will see you again. Rest well. You so deserve that. Much love, Marty and Janie.

What an honour to spend 56 beautiful years with you, Mom. So grateful to have lived with you in every house and apartment you ever had! Though we surely were tested, our bond was like steel; absolutely unbreakable. I'm going to miss the way you gently hummed old southern hymns while driving, when there were silent moments between us. No words could adequately describe both my gratitude and deep love for you. We were so much more than best friends for many decades: we were soul mates, DNA twins- 2 peas in a pod. Save me a seat in the New City! Can't wait to be with you again. Love you, forever, Sweet Mom!
