Eva Cano de Jahnke, aged 90, passed away from natural causes on January 15, 2025 in her assisted living facility in New Port Richey, Florida.
Eva was born in Mexico City, Mexico on December 2, 1934. After marrying husband Herbert Jahnke, she moved to Herbert’s family dairy farm in Minnesota. It was there that she raised both sons and was involved in the daily operations of the farm. In the mid-1990s she became a naturalized United States citizen. She later moved to Wichita, Kansas, and then in 2011 moved to Palm Harbor, Florida. During her residence in Minnesota she worked as a retail associate for World of Christmas, and then in Kansas as an associate for Burlington and later JCPenney. In addition to cooking for her family and attending bible study, she also enjoyed tending to her garden, water exercise classes at the local YMCA, and social events with the local ladies club. She also loved catching up with her favorite comedies on television with a particular fondness for British comedies.
Eva was preceded in death by husband Herbert, and is survived by sons Allen (Tampa, FL) and Dean (Pooler, Georgia).
Funeral services will be held at St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic Church in Palm Harbor, Florida on Monday February 3rd at 10am.

I remember my Sister Eva, how we played as kids. She helped get a job where I worked for 20 years. When I visited her we had great times. I will miss her.

On behalf of the Urbina family and your aunt Margarita, we offer our sincerest condolences.
I had the pleasure to have been invited to your home while I was studying in Highschool back in the 80’s. To this day I am grateful for the time I got to spend at the farm, and the doors she opened for my mom when she was was young. My aunt and uncle taught me the real meaning of hard work and values. Allan and Dean your parents gave me the best opportunity I could have ever wished for and for that I will be forever thankful. May God give your family strength, and surround you of love when you need it most.
