Eva was a member of the Catholic Daughter of America for over 60 years and was a counselor for two Junior Catholic Daughter of America troops and was a social member of the CDA Degree of Honor.

She will be missed by those who survive her, including nieces, Joyce Boehm, Bismarck, Linda Ziegler, Sioux Falls, S.D., Georgia Bockoven, California, and Judy Boehm, Montana; a nephew, Robert Boehm; many great-nieces and great-nephews, including a special great-nephew, Ray Eisenmann and his wife, Camille, Bismarck; many great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews; one sister-in-law, Louisa Boehm; and special friends, Jerry Hulm, Theresa Tokach, Betty Braun and Delveen Steckler.

Her husband; her twin brother, Adam, who died as an infant; and brothers, Joseph, Adam II, George, Florian and Thomas; and her sister, Anna Marie Stephen, preceded her in death.

In lieu of flowers, Eva's family prefers that memorials be made to Catholic Daughters of America, Cecelia Court.
