Her tireless graciousness and generosity were also evident through her service to the Ladies of Charity, Cheekwood, the Cloister, and to her children's schools. Even today her children's friends fondly remember her as the "sweetest Brownie Eva was preceded in death by her mother and father, Katalin and Odon Meszaros, her precious young niece Esther Meszaros, and her beloved companion, Fred Bryan with whom she spent many happy days strolling with their dogs, Pumpkin and Murphy.

Eva is survived by her adoring daughters, Edith Wenczl, Eva (Kuki) Lewis Hohimer (Jack), and Esther Stewart (Lee). Other survivors include her grandchildren Emme Marten (Esteban), Estee Marchesani (Todd), William Stewart, Jonathan Stewart, Joseph Lewis, Kaitlyn Lewis, and Alex Lewis, and one great grandson, Evan Marten. A mass and service will be held in her honor on Tuesday, October 8th, in Cleveland, Ohio at St. Angela Merici Catholic Church beginning at 12:30 p.m. and followed by burial at Holy Cross Cemetery.

A remembrance gathering will be held at a later date at the Cloister clubhouse for her many friends and neighbors there. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Friend of Warner Parks at 50 Vaughn Nashville, 37221. Eva's family would like to express their deepest gratitude to her caregivers who compassionately responded to her every need, especially those at Woodcrest at Blakeford and with Alive Hospice. Eva was a source of delight and inspiration to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.
