I agree. Even if Eva was a bit rude to Cora, that was horrible of Cora to manipulate Snow into letting her own Mom die, when her Mom hadn't even reached that age (near death age) or half that age. I think Cora gathered Nightshade and mixed it in a potion and then disguised herself as a servant, mixed it in a cup of wine which she gave to Johanna, who gave it to Eva. Eva drank it and then succumbed to its effects.
