Eva joined Branchville Methodist Church at the age of 13. She later became a member of Lincoln Hills Methodist Church and she has been a member of Greenwood United Methodist Church since 2002. She filled many positions in her church and remained a faithful member throughout her years of membership.
Following graduation from high school, she attended Oakland City College where she earned her teaching degree.
