Evea will be missed greatly in our community!  She was the woman with everything and always a kind word for everyone.  She was a special friend to my father in law Ken Prouty as he was facing his last days with us on this earth.  Our deepest sympathy to family and friends of Evea.  She was a legend.  Rest in peace Evea.

A remarkable woman!  Such an inspiration!  I remember her not only from her days as our waitress at Wayne's, but back in high school when her niece from Alabama (Renee') and I became good friends!

Rest in peace Evea!

Sorry to hear of the passing of Evea. I worked with her for a few years at Wayne's, I can say that it was never boring. She was a great woman and even though we didn't always see eye to eye, she was more than just a co-worker. I learned a lot from her. She will be missed.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Evea. A remarkable woman. first knew her when we were driving school buses. and of course as a waitress, who could anticipate your needs before you knew yourself. And then our children knew each other, and I worked with her daughter at school. There will be NO filling her shoes.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of such an amazing woman. I have special memories of Evea and her family. Her love for the Lord, her spirit and grace...I loved her!  I take great comfort in knowing that she is with her Lord & Savior...and having coffee with my mother! They shared so many cups over the years...!! Hugs to all the family.

Eva ~ a true inspiration for all of us! Unless you knew Eva, you would NEVER have known the hardships she suffered. In all the years I knew her, I NEVER saw her without a smile. What a blessing she was on this earth ~ she has earned her place of peace and rest among the heavenly hosts.

I am quite sure, if I am blessed enough to meet Eva in heaven one day, she WILL remember exactly what I ordered every weekend, at Waynes, in the very wee hours of the morning after I was done working late at the local pubs!!

Fly with the angels, Eva, FLY!!!

I am sorry for your family's loss.  Evea was an presence at Wayne's for so many years.  I can't imagine how many thousands of customers she served and staff she worked with.  I always enjoyed her smile and work ethic.
