Eva grew up in Newdale and Sugar City and attended Ricks College. After being swept off her feet at the roller skating rink, she was married on August 28, 1959, in Idaho Falls LDS Temple.

She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with callings to serve in the Relief Society, Young Women’s and Primary Presidencies as well as serving as stake camp director, which might have been her favorite.
