Eva RosemaryBROWNAuntie Eva (Eva Brown) sadly passed away on 20th January 2025. Everyone that knew her is invited to join her family in celebrating her amazing 89 years of travel, love, friendship, and laughter on Saturday, 15th March 2025.

Originally from Bromley in Kent/Greater London Eva moved to Wollaton in Nottingham in the 1970s. She was known by many people as "Auntie Eva", for her dedication to local families, having fostered and childminded over 100 children for Nottingham City Council. She continued to be a registered Childminder into her mid-eighties, and was also a children's chaperone for Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall Nottingham, Nottingham Playhouse and Central Television.

A life-long Salvationist, Eva ran a Sunday School from the front room of her house for many years and was heavily involved in running the Sunday Schools at Nottingham Aspley and Nottingham William Booth Memorial Halls Salvation Army corps. She was also the Brown Owl at the Aspley Salvation Army for some time.

In addition to her work with children Eva was also a trained seamstress, having trained at the Salvation Army's Trade Headquarters, before working for Jaeger on Regent Street in London, and later in Nottingham. She continued dressmaking and clothes alterations into her late eighties.

As a legacy to Eva, the Auntie Eva's Children's Trust is being set up to provide small grants to children in the Nottingham City area that need additional support. The family therefore requests no flowers please. Donations if desired can be made to Auntie Eva's Children's Trust. Please see the Auntie Eva's Children's Trust website for more details.

I feel so privileged like so many to have been Eva’s friend. The number of lives she has influenced shows her Christian love for others. Even when her eyesight was failing in her later years, she was always interested in others.
God Bless you Eva, you are now at peace with the Lord that you loved

So sad to hear the news on this amazing lady. She regularly shopped where i use to work and she was always smiling and never said a bad word about anything. For many years she would come in to buy things for the children she had with her always a pleasure seeing this lady and I knew she gave alot but reading through her life she gave so much. A lady who will be missed. Much love to her family and extended family
