Eva Mae Hale, age 61, entered her heavenly home on October 12, 2026. She was born on August 17, 1965, in Kansas City, Missouri.
Eva was a silly, genuine, and loving soul who had a kind heart and a special way of making connections with the people she met. She was a very strong woman who faced life with strength, determination, and perseverance. No matter what challenges came her way, Eva carried on with a strength that was part of who she was. She loved to laugh, be herself, and bring her own unique personality into the lives of others. She was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone she met, never hesitating to help someone in need. Her kindness, authenticity, inner strength, and loving spirit were a reflection of who she was, and the memories she created with others will forever be treasured.
Eva enjoyed working different jobs throughout her life and took pride in everything she did. She especially loved building relationships with coworkers and customers, forming friendships and connections wherever she went.
One of the places Eva enjoyed working was Arby’s, where her strong work ethic and dedication stood out. Her boss would often brag about how hard she worked, and the younger employees couldn’t keep up with her.
Outside of work, Eva enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. She loved gardening and flowers, finding happiness in watching things grow and appreciating the beauty around her. She also dearly loved her dogs, who brought her companionship and joy. Eva was a proud Kansas City Chiefs fan and enjoyed cheering on her hometown team.
Eva was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Delma May Stone; her father, Virgil Delbert Stone; and her sister, Roberta Kay (Rockley) Greenfield.
She leaves behind her loving children, Jesse Dean Hale and Sarah Elizabeth Hale.
Eva is also survived by her siblings, Ruth Ann (Rockley) Reid and Robert Wayne Rockley; her granddaughter, Madison Grace Hale; and her great-grandson, Braxton Kai Melton.
She will also be lovingly remembered by her many nieces and nephews, extended family members, coworkers, and dear friends whose lives she touched along the way.
Whether she was building friendships with coworkers and customers, lending a helping hand to someone in need, sharing her silly side with those around her, tending to her flowers, spending time with her beloved dogs, or cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs, Eva lived life in her own way.
Her strong spirit and loving heart made her special, and the impact she had on those around her will never be forgotten.
Though she will be deeply missed, the memories she leaves behind will continue to live on through her children, granddaughter, great-grandson, siblings, extended family, and friends. The stories shared, the laughter remembered, the kindness she showed, the strength she carried, and the love she gave will remain a part of her family’s lives for generations to come.
Like the flowers she loved, Eva’s memory will continue to bloom in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Her genuine nature, silly spirit, strong heart, and willingness to help others will forever remind us of the difference one special person can make in so many lives.
Forever loved, forever missed, and forever in our hearts. ❤️💛
