Eva Evenhouse Obituary

Eva Evenhouse of Western Springs formerly of Hinsdale passed away at her home on May 11, 2024. Loving wife of Donald. Beloved mother of Donna Amerine, Cathy (John)Cornelius, and David ( the late Dhessie Dela Rama) Evenhouse. Dear grandmother of  Michael (Alison Lockett)Amerine , Robert Amerine, Jac (Sarah Suzuki)Cornelius , Joel (nee Nicole Noonan)Cornelius and Dana (Tomek Rabczak)Cornelius. Great grandmother of Myla Amerine & Claire Eve Cornelius.
 Eva played tennis at the Salt Creek Racquet Club and belonged to three bridge groups. Back in the day she excelled at pottery and at quite a young age she was a talented oil painter.  She loved to go to Mr. Kelly's with Donald to see her favorite jazz artists like Oscar Peterson and The Modern Jazz Quartet. In later years Eva became an avid sports enthusiast developing a fondness for watching tennis, the Chicago Cubs, and especially basketball on TV. Eva knew all the players of her favorite teams by name and the coaches as well. Her children remember Mom taking them to Chicago to experience all of the culture the city has to offer and also the wonderful sunny day trips to the dunes. What wonderful memories!!

A private family burial will take place at Bronswood Cemetery in Oak Brook.
