Eva and Patrick grew up to be specially connected, each drawing the best qualities from each other and developing a solid and loving bond showing a devotion that would have lasted their lifetimes if Eva’s had not been cut so drastically short. Eva also loved her younger second cousins, Cameron Miller, Kylee Miller, Addison Miller, Carolyn Rose Lyons, Brooks Lyons, Alec Lyons, Reece Fleming ,Liam Fleming and Colton Worley,. Eva was fortunate to have so many people in her life that loved and cared for and about her. Eva was predeceased in death by her maternal grandfather, Ralph L. Lyons Jr., paternal grandmother, Lillian Fries, cousin Robert Nipple, and uncle Donald DeMartyn.

Eva graduated from the North Central Charter Essential School in May 2010. She attended the Art Institute of New England. Eva found that her career passion was focused on the food and beverage industry. She felt proud of her work at Blossom Bar in Brookline where she was taught and mastered the skill of creating and making coctails that were works of fine art. Eva was also pursuing additional work in marketing for specialty brand liquors. Eva was dedicated to her work and pursuing new skills related to the industry.

Eva was artistically inclined. She loved art, design, and making things. She taught herself how to sew and knit and loved to put things together from complicated instructions. She could master the most complex lego designs enjoying the challenge and reflecting upon the finished product.

Eva also had a passion for animals and loved the ones that she perceived as underdogs. She had a family of four that were all adopted. She will be greatly missed by Wally, Olive, Lola, and Iggy who will now all have a home together in Barre.

Eva's parents thank their loving family and many friends and Eva's friends that have provided such kindness and support.
