Born and raised in Millville by her grandparents, the late James and Eva Stiles, Eva was a lifelong resident. Eva attended Millville Public Schools, and then enjoyed many years of raising her family and was a wonderful homemaker. She evangelized with her husband, Billie Joe, for over 40 years in many churches and gospel tents all up and down the east coast. Eva loved her flowers and truly was an avid gardener. She also enjoyed singing in churches as well as playing the piano and organ. Eva cherished her horses named Babe and Danny Boy that she had while she was growing up. But most of all, Eva treasured the time that she was able to share with her family. Eva will be sadly missed by her husband, Rev.
