Eva Lynn Foote, born on August 2, 1951, in Cedar City, Utah peacefully passed away on April 15, 2024, at home surrounded by her family. She was the daughter of James Nolan Stokes and Eva Dean Sevy. Eva embarked on a journey of love and companionship with her husband, Gerald Arthur Foote, whom she married in Las Vegas on January 16, 1970, and was sealed for eternity in the St George, Utah temple on January 21, 1971.
Eva’s life was full of creativity and passion. She was an avid seamstress and quilter and was dedicated to her genealogy research. Eva found joy in everyday life. Whether as being the local AVON Lady, or the garage sale Queen, she immersed herself in the art of scrapbooking and her love of gossip. That love of gossip was surpassed only by her genuine interest in getting to know people and leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those she encountered.
Eva’s spirit lives on in the hearts of her sons, Michael Scott Foote, Richard Aaron Foote and Gerald Scott Foote, who will carry forward her warmth and kindness. Eva was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald, and a son, Kelly James Foote.

We will miss our mother, sister, cousin, confidant, and friend. Thanks to all who showed their love and support for Eva and the family. Drink a Dr. Pepper and pop some peanut M&M’s and think of her.
