Eva Bremner
Eva Bremner, 97, a longtime resident of Malden, died Tuesday, April 01, 2008 at the Winchester Hospital. Eva was born in 1911, in County Antrim, Ireland, while her parents were visiting from the US. She was raised in Malden, and graduated from Malden High with the Class of 1929. After high school, she attended the Malden Business School. She soon took employment with the Blanchard Lumber Company in Boston where she worked as a secretary. In 1933, she married her sweetheart, J. Stuart Bremner, in Bennington, NH. The two settled back in Malden to raise their family. Eva and Stuart were able to share 10 years together until Stuart's untimely passing in 1943. Eva continued working at the lumber yard, even when they moved locations from Boston to Walpole. Even after her retirement from the lumber yard, she took part time employment to help keep busy. She worked as a secretary for the law office of Atty Bernadette E. Casavant in Wakefield. She continued working until the age of 88. Throughout her life, she has also volunteered as a Sunday school teacher in the Centre Methodist Church in Malden. She was a past member of the YWCA Business Women’s Club, a past season ticket holder of the Boston Red Sox. Eva was an avid gardener who enjoyed working "the good old earth" while tending to her flowers, and was a great lover of music, but her greatest joy was spending time with her great grandchildren. Mrs. Bremner lived in Malden. She is survived by her daughters, Margaret “Peggy” Pelosi of Malden, and , Nancy J. Stella of Melrose, her brother, George LeMay of Saugus, as well as five grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband J.
