Eve M. Blum

Eve Marie (Faust) Blum, 65, of Fond du Lac, WI, passed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, December 24, 2024, after a battle with cancer. Eve was born on July 5, 1959 in Oshkosh, WI to Gilbert and Virginia (Mueller) Faust. Eve married Stephan Blum on April 21, 1984 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Together, they raised seven children. During their 40 years of marriage, they were blessed with ten grandchildren and several fur grandbabies who had a strong preference for grandma. Eve treated her children and grandchildren like the most precious things in the world. Eve remained a loyal employee for Winnebago Mental Health Institute for 35 years before she retired to spend more time with her family. After retiring, she opted to work part time at Kwik Trip where she met many new friends in her 6 years there. Eve was the definition of kind, selfless, thoughtful, caring, hardworking, and stubborn. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and sister who dedicated her life to being her family’s number one fan; whether that was sitting on the sidelines of sporting events, singing along at concerts, or always picking up the phone and knowing what to do/say. Her relationship with God was the foundation of who she was, and she displayed that through her servant leadership. Her favorite Bible verse that has guided her since her confirmation was Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” Eve is survived by her husband Stephan Blum; her seven children Andrea Blum, Thomas (Amy) Blum, Johanna (James) Clevenger, Phillip Blum, Keith (Shelby) Blum, Christina (Cody) Dohrman, Benjamin Blum; her ten grandchildren Vivian Svetnicka, Walter Svetnicka, Iona Svetnicka, Ava Blum, Sadie Blum, Isabelle Blum, Wesley Blum, Jovie Blum, Amelia Clevenger, and Nora Clevenger. Eve is further survived by her brothers John Faust and Robert (Vickie) Faust; and her sisters-in-law Lynda Faust and Kathleen Faust. She was preceded in death by her parents, and brothers Thomas Faust and James Faust. Our family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Aurora Hospice for their support and care for Eve.
