January 3, 1924 — January 22, 2011

On Saturday January 22, 2011, at the age of 87, Eva Lurlene France went home to be with the lord and was reunited with her late husband John E. and their son, Ronnie L France. She was surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

She is also preceded in death by her four brothers; Francis, Leo, Herman and Ferris Walker; and two sisters, Lois King, and Mary Mayfield; two grandchildren, Pamela Renee Conner and Tamara Conner.

Eva enjoyed fellowship at local churches and giving to her family and friends. She took great pride in helping others. Her true passion was painting.
