Catherine ‘Eva’ Somers, excellent cook
Catherine “Eva” Somers, 78, of Millsboro passed away Friday, Aug. 6, 2021, in the care of Atlantic Shores Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Eva was born July 21, 1943, to the late Rue Tawes and Catherine Harron McCready in Crisfield, Md. In addition to her parents, she was preceded by her husband, William R. Somers Sr. in 2018; and seven siblings: Joseph McCready, Patrick McCready, Steven McCready, Rue McCready, Teresa Dean, Regina Sterling and Charlotte Holcomb.
She was a graduate of Crisfield High School and was a homemaker who loved and adored her family. She was known for her love of cats and children, all kids, whether they were her own, or others. Eva loved card playing, Bingo and NASCAR and was a Jeff Gordon fan. She was an excellent cook, and her potato salad was a big hit - everyone loved it! Eva had lots of personality, was a comedian and had a bit of a temper.
Eva is survived by her two children: William R. Somers Jr. and his wife Sharon of Georgetown, and Tara Somers of Millsboro; as well as a sister: Rena Wolfold of Georgetown.
A Memorial Service will be held at 11:30 a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 11, at the Oak Orchard Community Church with Pastor Allen Miller officiating. Burial will be private at the Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Millsboro.
