Eva Pell, aged 76, of Bixby, passed away Jan. 27, 2017 after a long struggle to overcome a brain aneurysm. She was born May 22, 1940 in McDonough, GA.

Eva met the Love of Her Life, Gerald J. Pell, in Atlanta, Ga. and they were married there on Nov. 24, 1963. She is survived by her husband of 53 years, a daughter, Mary Antoinina Pell; 2 sons, William Frederick Pell and Theodore John Pell.
