Eve Loved helping people. Every time someone needed help, she was there. Young old rich or poor Eve was known to help you. Eve even helped the students that she interned with as a teacher. Eve was always helping somebody. No matter who you were she would lend out a helping hand, she was always there for everybody. Given the chance she would even give you the shirt off of her back and if that did not fit; figure out a way to make it stretch so that it would. Eve had a way of doing things. Eve had an effect on everyone that she came in contact with. People fell in love with her generosity, her personality and her infectious smile. Eve enjoyed taking care of her grand-children and sharing her knowledge and wisdom with them and others. She was not afraid to share what she knew with anyone. Eve had a way of Keeping It Real which seemed to draw people to her. People would just stop and talk to her, telling them about their problems and then afterwards feel better with a sense of relief that they talked with her. She would tell you what you needed to hear, not what you wanted to hear.  Anyone who knew Eve knows that she had a way of saying things that was for your good.

Eve liked her music and had a great album collection to prove that. She loved to dance, skate, party and have fun. She loved to travel, and after her retirement Eve left her hometown of New York and ventured towards the south.
