Eva Orizczak Barkhurst of 283 US Route 250, Adena, Ohio, passed away peacefully at her home Saturday, March 25, 2023. She was born October 15, 1923, in Glen Robbins, Ohio, the twin daughter of the late Steve and Femija (Ana) Kuzmiak Orizczak. Eva was a devoted wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a devout Christian and member of the United Methodist Church. She was their long-time Membership Chair, updating the membership list just days before her passing. She also served the community in the Harrisville Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, providing countless baked goods, especially her famous Bunny cakes for the fish fry dinners during Lent. In addition to her parents, Eva is preceded in death by her husband Ellis, daughter Cheryl Adams, son Gary, twin sister Catherine Petras, brother Steve, and brother John Orizczak.

Eva loved to travel and experience new things; she visited Israel, Germany, France, the Caribbean, Southern California, New York City, Florida, Hilton Head, New Jersey, Washington D.C.., and many other places.
