Evaluz Grace Stevens

Evaluz “Grace” Stevens,70, of Prescott Valley, Arizona, passed away on April 16th, 2026. Grace was born on June 9th, 1955, in Phoenix, Arizona, to Eva Gonzalez and Frank Zaragoza. She was a loving mother and wife with a generous heart and a gentle soul.

Grace lived as a free spirit who could not be tamed. She shone brightly for all to see. Her laughter was contagious, and her love was infectious. She was bold and courageous, never afraid to speak the truth, never one to back down from a fight, and always ready to defend those she cared for. Her courage and boldness were surpassed only by her beauty and her love for others.

Grace wouldn't settle for an ordinary life; she was extraordinary and pursued a life to match. She found that extraordinary life with her husband Brian. Married in 2002, they loved each other deeply. They loved to dance, travel, and spend time together. Friends and neighbors described them as being inseparable and madly in love.

Grace was the life of every party; she loved to sing, dance, and laugh, especially with her friends and family. Everyone who knew Grace has an amazing, extraordinary, or hilarious story to tell. Her light will forever shine in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Grace is survived by her children, Xavier, Pati, Jeff, Melissa, Frank, Julie, Eddie, and Shannon; and her grandchildren, Gabriel, Abigail, Eli, Aaron, David, and Jeremiah. She is also survived by her siblings, Linda, Margerette, Frank, David, Julian, Virginia, Alex, Irene, Diana, Lisa, Carlos, Laurie, Hawley, and Heather.

Brian and Grace’s memorial service will be held at West Resthaven Funeral Home and Cemetery, 6450 W Northern Ave, Glendale, AZ, on May 29th, 2026, at 12:00 pm.
