Evelyn June “Eve” Magley, 90, of La Porte, Ind., passed away Saturday, May 8, 2021, at Miller’s Health and Rehabilitation, La Porte.
She was born June 6, 1930, in Westville, Ind., the daughter of Arthur Olds and Hazel (Isenhart) Olds-Wesner.
A member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Eve was a lifelong resident of La Porte County. She was both a factory worker and homemaker, retiring after 17 years with Hedwin Corp. Eve also was a cashier at various stores around town such as Harvey’s and A&P. She was active in the community, serving as den mother for Cub Scout Pack 88 and as a team leader in building Fort LaPlay Porte. Eve’s interests included gardening, especially her flowers; fishing; and classic country-western music. She loved her many pets and was a huge Cubs fan. She and her husband danced their hearts out, often coming home with a prize for winning a local dance competition. Her family, though, was her special joy and they felt very fortunate to have her in their life as long as they did.
In 1960 in La Porte, Evelyn married Paul Magley, who preceded her in death Oct. 23, 2016.
Also preceding her in death were her parents; her sons, Kevin Cubel and Mark Magley; sisters, Katherine Bauer, Shirley Brasher, Mary Louise Olds and Phyllis Webb; and brothers, Edward and Robert Olds.
Eve is survived by her three sons, Randy (Dawn Ranta) Magley of Burns Harbor, Ind., Daniel Cubel of La Porte and Rory Cubel of Mishawaka, Ind.; daughter, Julie (Charles) Smith of La Porte; sister, Virginia Miller of Michigan; six grandchildren, Angela, Derek, Harper, Kara, Zachary, and Tiffany; nine great-grandchildren, Tara, Jacob, Grayson, Kiah, Acacia, Connor, Joe, Kyla, and Aurora; and several nieces and nephews.
Cremation will take place, with a private interment of cremated remains at a later date at Pine Lake Cemetery, La Porte. Haverstock Funeral Home and Cremation Services, La Porte, is handling arrangements.
Memorial contributions may be made in Evelyn’s honor to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, PO Box 98018, Washington, D.C., 20090; or the La Porte County Small Animal Shelter, 2855 W. Ind. 2, La Porte, Ind. 46350.
