Evi "Eva" Messina

Eva was born on December 29, 1943 in Rothenburg o/d Tauber, Germany to Theo and Heddy Beyerl. She was educated in the German school system and started her career in business at the large German supermarket corporation Edeka. She later was working at the American Express banking center in Furth, Germany where she met her future husband Frank.

Frank and Eva were married May 6, 1967. She was a devoted mother to daughter Christine and son Anthony. As the children matured Eva returned to the business world as a realtor for Tarbell Realtors where she remained as a top agent for 25 years.

Eva was an active and energetic woman that enjoyed travel and outdoor activities. She was an accomplished skier and took her skill to all the big name mountain ranges including the Rockies and the Austrian Alps. Not to let the warm weather go by under utilized she organized several white water rafting trips for family and friends as well as camping trips to Yosemite, Sequoia and the Kern. Just for good measure she signed herself and Frank up on an epic 100 mile bicycle trip through Death Valley.

Eva and Frank traveled extensively throughout Europe, the Caribbean and the South Pacific. Her thoughtfulness and generosity was a gift to those that surrounded her.

Eva is survived by husband Frank, daughter Christine, son Anthony “Tony”, granddaughters Riley and Sophia, grandsons Dylan and Samuel and brother Peter Beyerl of Rothenburg / Tbr Germany.
