Eva Hall Ward, 68 passed into the loving arms of her savior on Saturday, June 
16, 2012.

Widow of Earl “Pat” Ward, she is survived by her children Kevin Ward and wife 
Paula, Stephen Ward and wife Laura and Ashley Ward Gernon and husband Jeff. She 
is also survived by six grandchildren Benjamin, Samuel and Anna Ward, Gabrielle, 
Parker and Colton Gernon and step-grandchild Ryan Lipps, her brother Edgar 
“Pepper” Hall and brother-in-law David Ward and his wife Betty.

A native New Orleanian, Eva often recounted fond memories of dressing her family 
up in home-made costumes for Mardi Gras or winning numerous jitterbug contests, 
and she never lost her love of listening to “the oldies” especially Fats Domino. 
She was an active member in the Republican Party. A former secretary at J.B. 
Fowler, Eva left the workforce to become a devoted mother to her then young 
children. She was very involved in her church, Salem Lutheran Church in Gretna, 
La, volunteering as a Sunday school teacher, Volleyball coach, Vacation Bible 
School teacher, and Church Secretary. After her children were grown, she enjoyed 
spending time with her grandchildren and could often be heard reading books or 
singing songs with them.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend a memorial service on 
Saturday, June 23, 2012 at 10:30 am at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, 1 North 
Marigold Drive, Covington, LA, 70433. 
Interment will be private.
