Eva Napoleon was born in Baghdad, Iraq, in 1976 to Assyrian parents. At 14, Eva and her family emigrated from Iraq to Canada in search of a better life. 

After marrying Martin Napoleon in 1996, she became very involved in her two children’s various activities and programs at St. Mary’s Parish in Roselle. Over the last 20 years at St. Mary’s, Eva has served as a Sunday School teacher and church volunteer member for various events. 

In response to the unfortunate turn of events in the Middle East over the last few years, Eva, along with her other well distinguished colleagues, helped co-found Assyrian Family Aid: a non profit institution that provides essential needs and services to displaced families in need. 

From 2014 to 2022, she spent almost 8 years as a teachers aid for children with special needs. Today, she is a local business owner and strongly believes in the mission and purpose of Assyrian Family Aid: improving the lives of others to create a better way of life for those in need.
