My wife and I regret that we will not be at Eva’s graveside service. We will be out of town. Eva was a faithful member of our church and will be missed by all that knew her. One fond memory is that we would always run into her at the Claymont Lions Club Pancake breakfasts. I forget the context of why she was there….I think she was with her family or good friends. She was so pleased to see a familiar face. Our thoughts and prayers to her family.

I have many happy memories of Eva through dinners, family fellowship, trips, cruises, and social events. My Grandmother, Mary Elliott Fisher Knoblauch who worked at Mammeles w/Eva. my wife(deceased) Janet Heintz Hackman, truly had a long time bond of friendship which made for some fun times. And, of course, Eva could never stand still. She liked being active, both socially and mentally. My Heartfelt Sympathies extend out to all Family and Friends and know that Eva’s legacy will always be complimented with her smile, laughter and kind heart. Rest In Peace Eva Taylor

I am very sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of her at holiday dinners at the Roth’s house as well as get togethers in your backyard in Riverton, NJ.

Eva was a dear lady – she never forgot birthdays of any of her friends. My deepest condolences to her family.
