Eugenia Silva “Remy” Stevens peacefully entered into eternal rest Tuesday, December 18, 2018 in her home at the age of 94. She was born to the late Juan and Candida Silva on November 13, 1924 in Zamboanga, Philippines.
While working at Clarke U.S. Air Force Base in Pampanga, Philippines she met and married what would be her husband of thirty-five years, TSgt. Gilbert S. Stevens, Sr. There, they had three children before moving to The Bronx, NY in 1951 where they had their fourth child. In 1970, they settled in St. Albans, Queens, NY where she became a homemaker, occasionally working with her husband in check cashing and money services. Remy eventually retired and moved with her youngest daughter and son-in-law to Middletown, DE in 2006.
Remy was mostly self-educated yet spoke several languages including Spanish and Chinese. She learned to read and write in English largely through different television programs most notably Operation Alphabet. She enjoyed cooking, music, soap operas and television quiz shows, but most of all, she was an avid, dedicated and skilled bowler. She taught many in her family, including her husband, how to bowl and regularly followed the Pro Bowler’s Tour on television. Remy was a member of a number of bowling leagues in New York and Delaware over six decades earning many awards and accolades until her retirement from the sport in 2013.
Remy is survived by her children Adoracion, Gilbert, Jr. (Fran), Raymond (Mae), Marilyn , eleven grandchildren, sixteen great-grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, extended relatives and close friends. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Gilbert and sons-in-law John Jefferson and Herman Ross.
