Born on June 4, 1935, in Kingsport, Tennessee, Eveline was the daughter of the late George Gaines Parker and Lexie Monroe Parker.
Eveline's faith in the Lord was close to her heart. She was a devoted member of Valley of Hope Baptist Church, where she gladly served her church family as treasurer for several years. She worked for the Sullivan County School system in several different capacities for 30 years.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of fifty-nine years, Marvin A. Platz; her infant son, William Platz; her brothers, Paul (Isabelle) Parker and G.R. (Nadine)Parker; and her sisters, Ruth (Delaney)Young and Roma (Jack) Hann. We take great comfort in knowing they are now reunited in the presence of the Lord.
Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Greg (Debbie) Platz and Brian Platz; her sister, Velma (Marce) Ketron; along with several step-grandchildren, step-great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Her family will always treasure the love she gave so freely and the example of faith she left behind.
"Well done, thou good and faithful servant… enter thou into the joy of thy lord." – Matthew 25:21
A funeral service celebrating her life will be held Friday, November 6, 2026, at 11:00 A.M. in the East Lawn Funeral Home Chapel.
