Eva Jean Sullivan, 64

Eva Jean Sullivan, 64, of Pinehurst, Idaho, passed away Feb. 7, 2012, at her home. Eva was born May 5, 1947, in Louisville, Ky. She was the daughter of Richard and Lois (Graves) Sparks.

Eva graduated from Wallace High School and later took numerous college courses, including nursing, computer operations and real estate sales. She had worked as a custodian at the Kellogg School District until her retirement in 2006. She was also very proud of her work as a steelworker for the Bunker Hill Mining Company.

Eva enjoyed softball, keno, fishing, Facebooking and debating anything, anytime and anywhere.

Eva is survived by two sons, Ron and his wife Sharon Sullivan of Osburn, Idaho, and Bryan Sullivan and his wife Trista Crossley of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; granddaughter and grandson-in-law Alicia Sullivan and Brad Brumbaugh of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; grandson Jacob Sullivan; granddaughter Kelsie Sullivan; great-grandchildren Cadence and Silas Brumbaugh; and two sisters, Margie Hill and her husband Mike of Post Falls, Idaho, and Arlene Schnell of Colville, Wash.

Eva was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 35 years, Jerry Sullivan; and one sister, Alethea Trawinski.

Eva's friends, Gail Smith and Jo Roberts, assisted and cared for Eva far beyond anything her family could expect. Her sons also want to thank Hospice of North Idaho for its help in allowing Eva to be home throughout her illness.

A celebration of Eva's life will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012, at the Pinehurst-Kingston Lions Club. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Hospice of North Idaho in Eva's name.
