Our most beautiful Evie, dearly beloved wife, deeply adored mother, highly cherished grandmother, wonderfully devoted sister, amazing favorite auntie, and loyal, trusted friend, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 7, 2021. Eva is remembered for her radiant personality, joyous disposition, positive outlook, courageous attitude and child-like faith. After her Savior, there’s nothing Eva loved more than her family. Eva faced everything in life, including challenges, as an opportunity to display God’s glory and strength.
Eva is survived by her husband, Charles Henry Galarza; son Charles Florentino Galarza; and son Bo Garrett Galarza; grandson Josiah Galarza and granddaughter Karisa Galarza; siblings Maria Elena Ramirez (Rey), Pedro Reyna (Dolores), Raul Reyna (Violet), Delia R. Sanchez (+Manuel), Judge Guadalupe R. Gonzalez (Alejandro), Graciela R. Cortez (+Roberto) and Ricardo Reyna Jr. (Maria).
The legacy Eva leaves behind is one of faith, family and generational blessing. Her prayerful goodwill and selfless servanthood toward her loved ones will never be forgotten and will forever continue to be an inspiration to many. Eva’s trust in God, her personal resilience and her embrace of positive expectations, caused her to stand firm in faith and never waiver in hope. Evie held fast to the Lord’s promises and truly lived out her God-created identity as spoken of in Matthew 5:48 (MSG) - ”..Live generously and graciously towards others, the way God lives towards you.”
Eva exemplified the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31 - whose husband’s heart safely trusts her, whose children call her blessed, who speaks with wisdom, smiles with confidence, acts with kindness, and excels among women. Evie will always be honored because she gave you her absolute best, expecting nothing in return. She has now received her exceedingly great reward as she rejoices eternally in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ!
