Eva Prado

Eva Alice (King) Prado, age 76 passed away peacefully on January 25, 2023, at Sheridan Memorial Hospital. Surrounded by her family and loved ones. She was born February 18, 1946, to William Franklin King and Alice Fern (Anderson) King in Guernsey, Wyoming. She was brought into this world by a midwife. Eva was the fourth in line of six kids.

Eva married John Prado Sr. on October 14, 1964, and renewed their vows under the eyes of god on November 11, 1964, in the Catholic Church. She devoted her life as a stay-at-home mom. For Eva, her family was the most important to her. Spending time with family was everything. Especially being the mother of seven beautiful children and having each grow into a unique individual. Eva was a lovely, caring mother. She always tried to do what was best for herself and her family and loved ones. Eva truly lived for her family.

Eva always tended to have her hands busy. She enjoyed baking, cooking, gardening, canning, crocheting, needlepoint, and jewelry. She taught all her kids how to cook with handed-down traditions such as tortillas and tamales. She could never be still for very long. She looked forward to vacations in Washington State and rock shows with John.

Eva loved to love people. She looked forward to gathering and reminiscing. Whether it be with family or friends she enjoyed each and every visit. Eva was a devoted wife, mother, and friend who always put others first before herself. Eva was known for her kindness and willingness to help anyone in need. We will miss her very much. Eva is preceded in death by both parents, brother Richard King, sister Judy Monson, brother Dennis King, and granddaughter Rosa Prado.

Eva is survived by her husband John Prado Sr. All seven children, daughter Gina Billings, son John Prado Jr., daughter Racine and (Tom) Jackson, daughter Evangelina and (Chance) Fisher, son Hubert and (Carrie) Prado, daughter (Eva) Teresa and (Scott) Bartlett and son David Prado. Two sisters Gloria Cantor and (Jesus) of Dacono, Co, and Penny and (Louie) Chavez of Ft Lupton, Co. Twelve grandchildren, John Lee, Stephanie, Maria, Zackary, Abigail, Samantha, Christopher, Vanessa, Lillian, Rebecca, Hunter, Josiah, Adalida and many great-grandchildren as well as nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life with a Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, June 10, 2023, at 10:30 AM at Holy Name Catholic Church, with Inurnment to follow at the Sheridan Municipal Cemetery. With a reception back at the Parish Hall.
