Eva has touched many lives over the years. She was a blessing in my life.
Eva was independent woman with a strong mind and a kind heart. She and her Husband ran a business along side their son. She gave to family and friends repeatedly . holiday invitations were extended to my family after my parents left St. Louis. She walked with God’s faith in this life so I find it easy to see her with him now. With love and peace.
I met Eva through Laurie and Wayne. I thought she was such a lovely lady, she will be missed by many. My condolences to her family.
My parents were part of the 4 couples that played Pinochle together. I have such fond memories of going over to the Wilcoxen’s house, having dinner and watching TV with the rest of the kids until we fell asleep. I just remember how she was so warm and welcoming, and always had a smile. I am going to imagine them all together again now enjoying some pinochle!
