Our beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and faithful Friend, arrived in Oktaha, Oklahoma on July 11, 1941, the daughter from the proud parents, Jesse Stephens and Estella Thomas.
She received her education in the public school system, attending Historic Manual Training High School.
On August 5, 1967, she married Otis Graves, Jr., and their union was blessed with two daughters; Yolanda Lynn and Danielle.
They later moved to Piqua, Ohio, where she worked as a machine operator for Miami Industries for 5 years until her retirement. She then relocated back to Rentiesville, Oklahoma. She gave her life to the Lord in 2002.
On February 19, 2013, the Lord saw that Eveleen had fought a good fight and extended his hand to welcome her into Heaven's Eternal Home. She was preceded in death by her parents and a sister, Eula McDonald.
