Eva Pauline Worley, age 68, of Niangua, Missouri, passed away on March 18, 2024 at Mercy Hospital. Eva was born to Charles Junior Yarberry and Anna (Marshall) Yarberry on December 10, 1955, in Springfield, Missouri, where she was raised and attended school. Eva was united in marriage to Steven Wayne Worley on September 30, 1971, in Springfield. Eva and Steven shared 39 years of marriage before Steven’s untimely passing on August 3, 2011.

Eva was employed as a machinist with Emerson Electric for 13 years. When not working, she had many interests and pastimes including fishing, watching soap operas, and doing word searches. Nothing, however, brought her more fulfillment than playing with her beloved dogs. She was often described by others as strong, quiet, and resilient.

Eva was preceded in death by her husband, Steven; children, Jerry and Charlie; parents, Charles and Anna; and sister, Debbie. She is survived by her two children, eleven grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, six sisters, and two brothers.

A funeral service for Eva will be held on Friday, March 22, 2024, 3:00 pm, at Greenlawn Funeral Home North. Eva will be laid to rest next to her husband at Liberty Cemetery, located north of Springfield near Fellows Lake.
