Eva Jane "Eppie" Rose

Eva Jane “Eppie” Rose, 94, passed away October 24, 2020 in Bulverde, Texas. She was born to James and Thelma Williams Cason in Gainesville, Texas, August 12, 1926. Eppie is now at last reunited with her beloved husband, Billy George, who died in 1981. She is also preceded in death by her dear sister, Lucy Cox, who passed into heaven just three weeks ago.

Eppie is survived by 4 children: Gail Hogan of Bulverde, TX; Debi Cox and husband Tom of Austin, TX; Diane Carmona and husband Sam of Live Oak, TX; and Donna Mulkey of Bulverde, TX. She also leaves 7 grandchildren: Joshua Hill and wife Nicole; Luke Hill and wife Carol; Sean Cox; Vanessa Hoke and husband Brandon; Bill Cox and Kathryn Leffingwell; Heather Essick and husband Brandon; and Michael Carmona and wife Trisha. Eppie (“GiGi”) was also blessed with 9 great grandchildren: Jacob and Nathan Hill; Audrey, Jack and Eli Hill; Ashlynn and Mason Hoke; Amelia Essick; and Lily Carmona.

Eppie lost her parents when an infant and she and her sister were raised by grandparents in Denton, TX. At North Texas State University in Denton she met and married Billy, her lifelong soulmate. Billy worked hard to provide for the family, and Eppie devoted herself to homemaking and raising their 4 daughters. She was completely devoted and committed to her family her whole life, and her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren loved and adored her.

She was sincerely kind and sweet-spirited, and it is no exaggeration to say that anyone who knew her loved her. For several years she worked in the office at the Texas 281 RV Park, and residents often commented on how welcome she made them. She was the “friendly face” of the Park.

Although Eppie had been unable to attend church for the last few years, she loved and was loved by her church family at The Little Rock Chapel. She loved the Lord and is now forever rejoicing in His presence.

The family wishes to thank dear friends who have been a great support and help through Mom’s long illness. They also wish to thank Dr. Larry Baros and his staff. A special thank you as well to wonderful Hope Hospice, and especially Abby and Ashley, who took such tender care of Mom.
