April 2, 1921 - April 21, 2003
Eva Elizabeth Elmore was born in Wilder, TN, the fourth child of Thomas Albert and Lizzie Nunn Elmore. Most of her childhood was spent in Lake Worth, FL and Cookeville, TN. When she was 13, the family moved into a barn on the Cumberland Homesteads until their house was built. The beautiful family home and farm was on Open Range Road, bordered by Daddy's Creek.
Eva was a member of the first Homestead High School graduating class in 1939. She was one of the first eight "females" to be hired at the Homestead Hosiery Mill. Since most men were gone to war, the mill was forced to try using women. Much to the supervisor's surprise, the women were better knitters than the men had been.
Eva saved enough money to be able to take a two-year secretarial degree at Berea College, KY. She went to work in Oak Ridge and became secretary to the maintenance supervisor at K-25 until her retirement.
Her sister, Helen Jeanne E. Elrod, and her husband, Hunter Elrod; brother, Henry N. Elmore and his wife, Shirley Hassler Elmore, of Uplands Retirement Village in Pleasant Hill, survive her. Other surviving relatives are a sister-in-law, Hilda Elmore of Florida, eight nieces and nephews, 13 great-nieces and -nephews, and one great-great-nephew, plus many cousins.
Eva was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Thomas Albert Elmore Jr. and Walter Elmore; and niece, Susan Elmore Dodd.
Growing up in a loving family that sang "when two or more" were gathered, Eva was gifted with a beautiful soprano voice in her youth.
Always generous with time, love and support, she cared for her elderly parents, supported and sent younger sister Jeanne to Berea College and always laughed with exuberant joy.
Memorial donations should be made to the Pleasant Hill Community Church Building Fund or the Wharton Nursing Home Capitol Fund, earmarked for the building fund.
