Eva will be remembered for her tireless work in the community of Hornepayne, working with others in a kind and compassionate way. She also volunteered her time and was committed to making a difference.

Eva was an avid trapper; she lived off of the land and would transfer her knowledge to her children and grandchildren.  She was skilled at sewing making quilts, dresses, regalia’s, ribbon skirts and moccasins.  Eva loved the taste of bush tea and would make it as often as she could.

Eva was loved by all who knew her.  Her home was a welcoming place for all to go into as you would be greeted with a smile and would share many great laughs.  She was a loving, caring, religious person with a genuine heart.
