The couple spent more than 20 years near Solon where they farmed and began their family, later moving into Iowa City. Eva loved caring for her family and home and was known for many things, including her ability and expertise to cook and bake. She enjoyed family gatherings, playing cards, cheering on the Iowa Hawkeyes and Chicago Cubs and, of course, getting her hair done on a very routine basis!
Her family includes her children, Kathy J. Murphy (George), James A. Irvin (Janice) and William A. Irvin (Tricia); six grandchildren; and four great-grandsons.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and granddaughter, Heather Dawn Murphy.
