Eva Jean is survived by her husband, Gerriet Meenderink, her sister Lynette Lewis, her daughters: Michelle Wood and Stephanie Lindsey (Brynt), stepson, Greg Meenderink and her grandkids who were the center of her world.

She is preceded in death by her parents, James and Millie Lewis, brother, Russell Lewis and sisters; LeeAnn Lewis Altman and Guyla Lewis Johnson.

Eva Jean was born to James and Millicent Lewis in Roosevelt, Utah on December 10, 1946. She attended Bountiful High School and Weber State College where she studied elementary education.

She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where she served in many capacities throughout her life including the Relief Society and the Young Women’s organization. However, her happy place was serving in the Primary where she was known as “Sister Friendly.”

EJ, as she was known, was incredibly kind and loving with a fantastic sense of humor. She had an amazing smile and contagious laugh. EJ loved big! In addition to her biological family, she had an enormous extended “adopted” family and was known by many as Mom, Grandma Jean, Grandma EJ or Aunt EJ. She had way of making everyone feel special and opened her home and her heart to so many.

The impact of Eva Jean’s life is immeasurable and though her physical absence leaves a giant hole in our hearts and in our lives, we know that she is at peace and continues on with us. We are forever grateful for the amazing person she was and the legacy of love she leaves behind for all of us.
