Our beloved sister, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, Eva Mae Kellogg (Finnie), gained her heavenly wings on Friday, July 21, 2023, after a brief illness.
Eva was born on October 15, 1934, in Norman, Oklahoma. She grew up in Beaumont, California and resided in several places including Hawaii, Florida and Michigan. Years later, she moved back to Oklahoma where she raised her daughters.
Eva was a dedicated worker who was passionate about everything she did. She worked many years in a hardware store while residing in Midwest City. Years later, she moved to Holdenville where she worked as a floor manager for a clothing manufacturer. After the company closed, she moved to Shawnee where she resided for over 25 years.
Eva loved gardening, pampering herself and her fur babies, Bink and Princess. She enjoyed her friends and family and looked forward to dancing with her friends every Saturday night in Tecumseh. Her loss is deeply felt by many.
Eva leaves her brother, Charles Finnie; daughter, Candy Kellogg-Godfrey (Timothy); sons, Joseph (Kathy) and William (Nina) Bell; grandsons, Jeremy Jacobs, Andrew (Jessica West) and Nathan (Angela Garner) Barr; granddaughters, Tara (Anthony) Williams and Casey (David) Stamper; great-granddaughter, Kaitlynn Williams; great-grandsons, Anthony (Bailee) Williams, Ryan Stamper, Andrew and Konnar Barr; numerous nieces, nephews, other family members and countless friends. Eva was predeceased by her daughter, Virginia.
A memorial celebration will be held Thursday, July 27, 2023. Viewing will be from 9-10 am and the service will begin at 10:00 am at AE Funeral Services Chapel, 603 W. Independence St., Shawnee, Oklahoma. Eva will be put to rest at Brown Cemetery in Pink, Oklahoma. A celebration will be held afterwards (location is TBD and will be announced at the service).
The family wishes to thank the staff at Heart Hospital South in Oklahoma City and Frontier Hospice in Shawnee for their care and concern for Eva and for the family during her illness
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Brown Cemetery where many of Eva's family are buried and will be buried. Make checks payable to Brown Cemetery, mailing address: 301 North Broadway, Tecumseh, OK 74873.
