and Velma McCammon (Beagley).
As a child, Eva was vibrant and fun, often enjoying tap dancing competitions with her
brother and partner, Floyd. Eva was also involved in Girl Scouts. After high school, she enrolled
in Wesley School of Nursing, after graduating from nursing school, Eva spent a majority of her
career working as a Registered Nurse for St. Joseph Medical Center. While working at St. Joe,
Eva worked in many departments but found her greatest passion in working in Labor
and Delivery. Eva had a great aptitude for nursing, not only the medical side but also the
compassion and caring she showed to her patients.
When Eva wasn’t working, you could find her at the lake, sitting in a comfy chair
crocheting or sewing or possibly in the kitchen baking up a storm. Eva loved baking for
others and would often make dozens of loaves of her wonderful pumpkin bread and banana
bread . She also had an amazing crocheting talent, often gifting others with beautiful blankets,
rugs, etc. Eva loved her animals too. She always had at least two or three fur babies in her
home all the time. Eva enjoyed spending time with friends and family and loved her grandchildren
immensely.
