Evelyn Ruth Halluma was born in Porum, Oklahoma on October 22, 1935 the daughter of Lillie Clare (Wood) Lewis and Thomas Monroe Lewis II and was the eldest of three girls.

She then attended nursing school and became a Registered Nurse and later continued her education and became a nursing instructor. “Eve” as she was affectionately known, was a registered nurse by trade, and an eternal caregiver by heart. Her passion for nursing was evident by the many kind words spoken about Eve by her patients, co-workers, friends and the countless h ours she spent taking care of others. In her spare time, Eve adored the arts and was a regular volunteer at OK Mozart for many years. She enjoyed acting, playing golf and spending time with her friends. She also loved to travel.

Eve lived her life to the fullest. Her beautiful hair and sparking eyes, along with her big smile, reflected her loving and infectious spirit.
