Eva graduated from Rockway Mennonite School in 1952, then entered nurses' training at the K-W Hospital School of Nursing. Eva enjoyed life-long friendships with classmates from the "Class of 55." Her nursing career involved work at K-W Hospital (now Grand River Hospital), Goshen Hospital (Indiana), and Nithview Home (New Hamburg, ON), while raising three children. In retirement she volunteered at Ten Thousand Villages, at Nithview Home, and at the New Hamburg Thrift Shop. Eva and Vernon travelled across the Maritimes and Newfoundland & Labrador on two occasions to manage off-site sales for Ten Thousand Villages. Eva was a member of Hillcrest Mennonite Church, New Hamburg. Eva hosted many people in her home in New Hamburg including three international interns from Germany, Colombia, and Japan who worked at Ten Thousand Villages. These young women stayed in touch with Eva for decades afterwards \emdash clearly, Eva created a very welcoming home during their time in Canada. Eva enjoyed gardening and had many flower beds around the house and yard at 60 Weber St., New Hamburg. When her children were young, Eva and Vernon took them on numerous camping trips across Northern Ontario, the Atlantic Provinces, Western Canada and the United States.
