June 5, 1933 — October 12, 2023

Eva was born in Schoningen, Germany. In her youth she experienced war. Her father died a prisoner of war in Russia. Eva came to Canada at 21 years old and settled in Prince Rupert, where she met Otto in a church choir, married him, and they raised three children. She helped out with the family business, Bohl’s Painting & Decorating. Their son Gary died at age 5 in a playground accident. In 1980, Otto, Eva and their son George moved to Chase and continued their painting business. Eva was a talented singer, lute player and pianist. She loved to knit and sew for her three generations of offspring and newborns of family and friends, and had boxes of baby outfits and blankets she knitted. Eva was a woman of faith with a deep love for God and Jesus, and she lived her life following the teachings of God’s Word.

Eva loved living in Chase. She was grateful for the community rallying around her and Otto when their home burned in 2016. They enjoyed the outdoors around Chase when still able. In later years, a highlight of their day was frequenting local coffee shops and restaurants. In their final years they were regulars at Railside.

Otto passed away last year. Eva is also predeceased by her brother Manfred, two stepsiblings, and sons Gary and Harold (stillborn). She is survived by her stepsister Helga and stepbrother Eugen (Helga), children George and Ruth (Mark), grandchildren Jeremy, Jonathan (Tanya) and Justin (Ruth), great grandchildren Konrad, Kira and Asher, and nephews and nieces. She is dearly missed.

The Funeral Service will be held at the Evangelical Free Church in Chase on Monday, October 23 at 11 a.m.
