Eva was well known as a humble, loving, generous, and kindhearted woman. She was the life of the "party" everywhere. She was loved! Eva absolutely adored her two children and grandchildren. Eva was employed at Harrison Elementary School as a cafeteria aid for 19 years and was blessed to retire in 2019. She enjoyed her job so much; she would also work the summer park lunch program to make sure kids in the neighborhood would receive a meal to eat. In her younger years she also worked at the Y-knot Shack (a well-known establishment in the South Bend area) If you know, you know LOL!
Left to cherish her sweet memories and forever celebrate her life are her one daughter, Tearra (Tommy) Dotson of Camby, Indiana; and her one son, Maurice (Shanta) Thompson of Granger, Indiana. Nine grandchildren: Maurice Jr., Jayden, Kennedy, and Jeremyah Thompson of Granger, Indiana, Gary III, Tyrin, and Cierra (Lil Eva) Wright, Brooklyn and Tommy Jr. Dotson of Camby, Indiana. Two great-grandchildren: Maurice III, and Nahvi Thompson. Sister, Laverne (Isacc) Hadley of Elkhart, Indiana; three nieces: Charisse (Canneth) Lee, Shena Lindsey of South Bend, Indiana, Tawana (Antuan) Johnson of Noblesville, Indiana, Candace (Isac) Hadnot of Arlington, Texas; two aunts: Betty (Eugene) Williams, Jenny Faye Olive; two uncles: Jimmy Byrd, James (Bull) Byrd of South Bend, Indiana; a goddaughter, Yuneka Brownlee of Indianapolis, Indiana. She also leaves to cherish her memory, her partner of over 20 years, Samuel Hall of South Bend, Indiana.
A sister and brother-in-law, Marietta (Marshall) Lindsey preceded her in death.
A Million Times
A million times we've needed you, A million times we've cried.
If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.
If all the world was ours to give, We would give it yes, and more,
To see you coming up the steps, And walking through the door.
To hear your voice and see your smile, To sit and talk awhile,
To be with you that same old way, Would be our fondest day.
A heart of gold stopped beating, Two smiling eyes closed to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
