Eva (Streett, Delameter) Martin, 78, Princeton, Mo. (formerly of Kansas City, Mo.) passed into eternity October 23, 2020 at Pearls II Eden for Elders in Princeton, Mo.
She was born in Gilman City, Mo., in 1942. She was the oldest child of John Edward Streett and Anna Lee (Loney) Streett. She graduated from Ravanna High school in 1961. She enjoyed being in FHA and 4-H. After High School she worked at AT&T as a switchboard operator in Kansas City, Mo.
In 1962, she married John Delameter and the couple moved to Lincoln, Neb.
In 1965, Eva gave birth to her daughter Beth Ann. In 1970, they added to their family by adopting a son, David Allen.
After working in childcare and owning a plaster craft business with John, they moved to Dahlonega, GA. They both worked at Christian Financial Concepts. After two years they decided to move closer to family by moving to Kansas City, Mo., where she worked at the Nazarene Publishing House in the shipping department.
She and John divorced a few years after the move.
Later she would remarry and retire. She spent time with small children all throughout her life no matter what state she lived in. In later life that would be through the church. She and her second husband, Ben Martin, enjoyed gardening, camping with family on a yearly trip and being with friends and family.
Then came the diagnosis of dementia. She was able to stay at home with her husband for a few years, but eventually moved back to Princeton, Mo. into Pearl’s II. Unfortunately, Ben passed away in 2016.
