Eva was always fond of greetings. She loved it when people acknowledged her as they entered a room, and she made sure to greet everyone when she walked in. Her hospitality knew no bounds—whenever anyone came to visit, she would offer drinks and food with genuine warmth and care. Her love for her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren was immeasurable, and her cheerful, smiling demeanor made her incredibly easy to love.

She had a passion for gardening and wasn’t afraid of hard work. In fact, she couldn't stand leaving dishes sitting around for long, always quick to clean them before they even had a chance to pile up. She especially treasured visits from family, particularly her grandchildren, and made everyone feel at home in her presence. Her peach cobbler was legendary, and no one could resist her famous salty gravy.

She loved exploring the countryside when the dogwoods were in bloom and spent many hours watching the squirrels and birds outside. Her favorite TV shows were the St. Louis Cardinals games, The Price Is Right, Wheel of Fortune, and Family Feud with Steve Harvey. Above all, she was incredibly generous, always eager to buy something for someone else, no matter the occasion.

She will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her, and her memory will always bring smiles to our faces.
