Eva was a graduate of Manheim Township High School in 1954.

She met her husband to be, J. Paul Rudy, in 1958 and was married to him in 1959. She was a teacher in St. Louis, MO, and at Mountaineer High School in Davis. She and her husband owned several businesses in both WV and PA. Eva was an avid golfer, seamstress, and traveler. She loved music, teaching others how to play piano and playing the organ at the First Presbyterian Church of Thomas for several years. She was a member of the Lions Club, active member of several church organizations, and a volunteer at Cortland Acres. Above all, her greatest love was for her Lord and her family.

She is survived by her two children, Pamela Kosanic and husband Joseph of Davis, and Eric Rudy and wife Marylyn of Thomas; two granddaughters, Megan Kosanic of Pittsburgh, PA, and Melanie Miller and husband Mark of Justin, TX; a great granddaughter, Adaline Miller; and several sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews.
