Eva lived an exciting childhood, traveling the world singing the Good News of Jesus. After she graduated high school Eva married Billy Jo Coleman and moved to Searcy, Arkansas, where they served as youth pastors. Following, they moved to Waxahachie, Texas, to Southwestern Assembly of God University to further their formal education. Education was a big deal to Eva. She valued its purpose and believed God could transform minds through learning. She was an education major. While at SAGU, Bill and Eva welcomed their son, Chad Coleman, to the world.

After, Bill and Eva pastored in Wainwright followed by Morton, Texas. While in Texas they saw the miracle of their daughter, Billie Danielle Grimes. In 1986, Bill and Eva moved to Glenpool where they planted a church. The majority of their ministry was spent serving the people of Glenpool. In Glenpool one of Eva’s greatest contributions was founding and opening a Christian school, educating kids from pre-school through high school.

After resigning New Hope Assembly in Glenpool, Bill and Eva began their ministry at First Assembly in Roland, Oklahoma. After teaching in Tulsa Public Schools while living in Glenpool, Eva continued her teaching career at Liberty Elementary. Eva taught for several years before retiring and being a stay at home grandma.

In recent years Eva enjoyed playing the piano in church, leading Bible studies in her home, and being in the presence of God. She always had a laugh and a song cued up, and now she is rejoicing in the best worship service imaginable.
