Eva Ann Brooks' Obituary
Eva Ann Snow Brooks, “mom”, “mommy”, “g-ma”, “grandma”, “sister”, “aunt” and friend passed into God’s loving care on October 16, 2020. She was born on March 9, 1935, seventh out of nine siblings in Rosston, Oklahoma. She was beautiful, kind, honest, and had a gentle soul, but she would tell you in a heartbeat how she wanted things done. She had spunk and a sharp wit about her but always managed to present herself with grace and elegance. Eva had integrity and expected the same from those around her. No matter the project or activity she started, she devoted everything she had to the successful completion of it. She had a love for decorating, shoes, and shopping for deals. Eva was loved dearly and will be missed.
In her 85 years she lived in several different places and traveled to many different areas. She spent most of her life in Amarillo and considered it her home. Wherever she lived, she was an active member of a local Baptist church. Eva was an insurance agent for many years, then became an independent agent and opened “Eva Brooks Insurance Agency” in Amarillo. She closed the agency several years later and moved to Austin. She moved to several different places in between and landed in Plano, Texas, her final resting place.
Eva is preceded in death by Emlin Earl (father) and Zella May Snow (mother), Bill Brooks (former husband), Lewis Snow (brother), George Snow (brother), Edgar Snow (brother), Susie Harrison (sister), and Evelyn Nelson (sister). Eva is survived by her daughters: Gina Lawrence, Kim Brooks, Desiree Zufelt and her husband, Buster Zufelt, and grandchildren; Ashton Ruiz and her husband Francisco Avelar, Bishop Johnson, Corbin Ramos and Dagan Ramos, and sisters; Gloria Meliza, Martha Hosler and her husband, Marvin Hosler, Dorothy Treat, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Due to COVID-19 precautions, the immediate family is having a private service to celebrate her life.
