Eva Gauthier was born on January 21, 1920 at Plummer, MN daughter of the late Emil and Louisa (Desautel) Gauthier. She attended rural Carpenter School near Plummer, MN, grades 1-6 and then Oklee, MN, grades 7 and 8.
Eva was active in St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Oklee. She was on the Altar Guild, counting offerings and on the Funeral Service Committee for many years. She was also a member of the Oklee American Legion Auxiliary for 25 years.
On July 5, 1937 Eva was united in marriage to Eugene Paul Asselin at St. Vincent dePaul Catholic Church in Plummer, MN. The couple farmed in this area including Plummer, Oklee and Fosston. In 1971 they moved to Anchorage Alaska where Eva worked at a school for 4 years at the hot lunch program and assisted at play time.
Eva's main interest for many years was quilting and gardening. She made quilts for all of her children and grand children. She and Gene would put in a large garden and do a lot of canning; only to give most of it away.

While visiting in Arizona one winter, she had a stroke and was not able to live alone.
