Eva I. Levi passed away peacefully on July 13, 2019, at the age of 91. Eva was born on September 27, 1927, in Berlin, Germany. She left Germany for Shanghai in 1939, with her family, to escape the Nazis. Eva lived in Shanghai under very difficult circumstances until December 1947. There she lost friends, her father, and brother.
She immigrated to the United States with her mother and arrived in San Francisco. She settled in Fresno, California and then San Francisco, working as a Laboratory Technologist. Eva met her husband, Max, in 1950, and was married to him for 55 years. Eva graduated from college in 2000, and she was the oldest graduate from San Francisco State University that year. Eva helped her husband start Pacific Coast Products, a wholesale business, in 1968.
Eva is survived by her daughters, Karen and Connie (husband Alan); her son, Larry (wife Talia); her stepdaughter, Shelley (husband John); four grandchildren and four step-grandchildren.
Eva impressed all around her with courage, positive attitude, and tenacity. She loved the arts and traveled until her death.
