Eva LaVerne White Seim 75, a resident of Prairie Grove, Arkansas, passed on August 20, 2012, at the Willard Walker Hospice Home in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She was born May 22, 1937, at Brinkman, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Ernest and Evie (Simmons) White.
Eva was one of five daughters in the White family. She and her identical twin, Peggy LaFerne White Tiemann, who passed in 1996, were the youngest. Her oldest sister, Rachel, passed in 2010.
Eva was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend. She worked alongside Leland Fulnechek in the family farming and ranching business. After her children were grown, she started another chapter in her life as a teller at the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Duke, Oklahoma. She was involved in local community activities. She served as the Secretary of the Greer County Oklahoma Election Board. She was a small business owner, having established the Duke Tag Office, the only Oklahoma Tax Commission private contractor in western Jackson County Oklahoma. In 1980 she moved to Harlingen, Texas, to be near her twin sister. There she was the Director of Member Services for the Confederate Air Force. She was also a crew member in several CAF World War II bombers, including the B-24 and B-25, where she met Walter Seim, whom she married in November 1982. For 16 years, she kept the books and served as a board member for McLain Oil Company in Lubbock, Texas. She established ES Sales, a fleet tire company.
As a competitor in the International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association (IHMSA), she hit 10 consecutive turkey targets at 150 meters during a match. Since moving to Prairie Grove in 2006, she has made and given to her family and friends approximately 80 quilts. The half square triangle shown on the front page was her favorite pattern.
