KY.⁽¹¹⁾ -AKA "Eva" [her preference and on her tombstone] and "Eve"; she was universally known as "Eve"; most people thought that her given name was "Eva" and used that for formal occasions.

In the family, all her children -- and thus her grandchildren also -- referred to her and addressed her as "Mammy." As a result, perhaps none of us knew during her lifetime that her real name was "Mary Evelyn." Children were:
