Eva’s biggest joy in life was her family. She always said “If love could heal the world there would be no fighting because I have enough for everyone”. She absolutely loved animals of all kinds (except snakes she would always say). She loved to read and was often found curled up with a good word search as well. She had an amazing green thumb, loved to dance and was an avid cook creating meals many have tried to replicate. When asked what her name was she always responded “everyone calls me Grama”. Her stories of growing up could leave anyone speechless and she loved to share them with anyone who was willing to hear them. She was an angel on earth and is dearly loved by so many and will be sorely missed.
