Eva (Stahl) Fishman

Eva (Eve) Stahl Fishman, 87 years of age, of West Hartford, passed away Wednesday, February 10, 2021.

Born in Munich, Germany, she was the daughter of the late Edith and Walter Stahl. Eve grew up in the Kew Gardens section of Queens, NY, and moved to West Hartford in 1955, where she remained a resident until her passing. She enrolled as a Freshman at UCONN where she met her husband and love of her life, Ed Fishman. She then transferred to NYU where she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Education. Eve began her career as a substitute teacher for various public schools in the greater Hartford area. She went on to manage the West Hartford office of Stanley Kaplan for more 10 years. But her main focus was raising her three boys.

Eve was an animal lover, a talented artist and enjoyed dining out, playing mahjongg and Words-With-Friends. But most of all, she loved spending time with her husband, her 3 children and their spouse and her beloved 8 grandchildren.

She was briefly predeceased by her husband, Edward, who died February 4, 2021. They were happily married for more than 65 years. She leaves her sons, Michael Fishman and his wife Evelyn of West Hartford, CT; Kenneth Fishman and his wife Lisa of Southborough, MA; and Ronald Fishman and his wife Kathy of West Hartford; eight grandchildren: Carolyn, Eric, Andrea, Jeremy, Rachel, Alex, Ben and Dana; and sisters-in-law, Helene Fishman and Hedyth Fishman.

Private funeral services will be held Friday, February 12, 2021 at the Emanuel Synagogue Cemetery, with Rabbi David Small officiating. A shiva service with the family will be held at 2:00 pm on Sunday, via the Emanuel Synagogue zoom.
