Eva and her husband, Melvin, raised six children in Caswell and Limestone.
Eva was well known for her gardening, cooking, quilting, and knitting skills. Many family members and friends have been the lucky recipients of beautiful quilts, doilies, afghans, mittens and socks. Her most important gift to us all was her strong faith in God. Her home was always full of beautiful flowers and often the smell of fresh baked bread. Eva served as president (as well as other offices) of the Limestone Senior Club.
Eva met the challenges of the Great Depression, World War II, and raising a family with resourcefulness and without complaint. Her beautiful smile, sense of humor, and positive attitude have been an inspiration to all that know her. She was always young of heart and mind.
She is survived by her brothers, Onezime (Judy) Picard of Wolcott, CT, and Albert (Iva) Picard of Bristol, CT; sisters, Aldelaide Brown of North Highlands, CA, and Dorothy Picard of Omaha, NE; brother-in-law, Dale (Ellen) Hazelwood of Hampden; sister-in-law, Anna Sauls of Bangor; children: Bill (Lynn Ann) of Levant, Carolyn Fisher of Caswell, Sandra (Dick) Ferland of Hebron, Richard of Woodland, Carrie Burton of Caswell, and Larry of Wash-burn; grandchildren: Alphonse (Martha) Hazel-wood of Phoenix, Todd Hazelwood of San Antonio, Michael (Laurie) Fisher of Huntington, TX, Daniel (Monica) Fisher of Brodhead, WI, Brian (Ariane) Ferland of Chepachet, RI, Kristie Ferland (Dustin Ramsdell) of Minot, Kevin (Katrina) Hazelwood of Washburn, and Lisa (Luke) White; eight great-grandchildren; as well as many nieces, nephews and their families.
