Eva Mae (Bell) Gresham Moten was born in Greenwood, Mississippi on May 25,1932 to the late Simon Bell and Annie Rebecca Jordan Bell. She was the fifth of eight children. Eva accepted Christ at the age of thirteen and was baptized at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Greenwood, Mississippi where she was active in missionary and youth activities. She attended Greenwood public schools and graduated from Stone Street High School in May 1952.
Eva married Levi Gresham and moved to Oakland, California in 1962 where she became active in pursuing a nursing career. They were blissfully married until his death in 1984. Eva continued her nursing career at Children's Hospital of Oakland, where she worked as a Neonatal ICU Nurse (RN) for 35 years. She joined McGee Avenue Baptist church, and later Allen Temple Baptist Church where she served over 33 years. Eva continued to enjoy life and was an avid traveler. Later, she met and married Harry Moten who also preceded her in death.
She is mourned by her sister, Christine Jordan (David); brother, Clifton Jordan; nieces, Joyce Jordan Dugar (Larry) and Cheryl Franklin; nephews, David L. Jordan, Jr., Donald Jordan (Maria), Darryl Jordan (Jennifer), Greg Parker and Ed Parker. She also leaves behind a host of cousins and other relatives and friends.
