I will greatly miss Ev’s friendship, humor, and dedication to making Merritt Park the best community in Asheville. Though small of stature,
she was not detoured by challenges or obstacles. She had a finely-tuned sense of justice–for herself, her neighbors, and for the community at large.
My deepest condolences go out to her loving sons and their loved ones at this time of their loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. All of the staff members and participants from Heartpath loved Ev and we will all miss her. We are thinking of you in your time of loss.
