Eva "Eve" Eskew

Mrs. Eva "Eve" (Hancock) Eskew, age 84, of Carrollton, passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 12, 2026. She was born in Newnan on March 20, 1942, to the late William "Bill" Hancock and the late Ruby (Cochran) Hancock. In addition to her parents, Eve was preceded in death by her brother, Eddie Hancock.

Eve was a graduate of Newnan High School. Throughout her working years, she held several positions, including employment at the Cannongate Country Club, and retiring from United Parcel Service (UPS). In her younger years, she enjoyed camping, boating, and spending time outdoors. She also loved traveling to Biloxi, Mississippi, where she enjoyed playing Texas Hold'em and slot machines. A devoted animal lover, Eve cherished her pets and considered them members of the family. She was a lifelong fan of George Strait and found great joy in his music. Above all else, Eve treasured her family and especially loved being "Maw Maw" to her grandchildren. She will be remembered for her kind heart, her love of life, and the special memories she created with those she loved.

Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband, Stephen Eskew of Carrollton; her sons, Mark Cavender of Woodland, Alabama, and Mike Cavender of Newnan; her daughter, Michelle O'Dell of Newnan; her grandchildren, Kristen Lee, Kayla Hall, Kody Cavender and his wife, Tanya, Jessica Coe, and Madison O'Dell; her great-grandchildren, Annalise, Makenzie, Maddox, Lyla, Jaxon, Baylee, and Kash; along with a number of extended family members and friends.

In accordance with Mrs. Eskew's wishes, she will be cremated.

The family plans to hold a celebration of Eve's life at a later date.
