Eva grew up in nearby Dinuba, graduating from Dinuba High School in 1947. During high school she met Henry "Hank" Tremper, whom she married in 1949. They settled in Fresno where they would raise two sons, Ron and Mark, and share life together for 61 years. With the children at home, Eva stayed busy as PTA president and den mother extraordinaire for Boy Scouts. In later years, Eva worked as Vice President of Griffith-Dyer Company, an air conditioning business that she and Hank owned for nearly 20 years.
Beginning in 1953, up until her passing, Eva was an active member of Beta Sigma Phi sorority, serving numerous times in every office of her local chapter and region. She chaired the 1971 "America" state convention, the largest of its kind, which included arranging Bob Hope to address the convention. In 1994, Eva was a recipient of the International Award of Distinction, the highest award bestowed upon active members, and two years ago received her 60 year pin. She was also an active member of Eastern Star and Daughters of the Nile, Masonic organizations. Eva was patriotic to the core, known for her red, white and blue outfits, and in her 60's trained and carried the Olympic torch for a segment of its journey through the San Joaquin Valley. But above all, Eva loved her family who will miss her dearly.
Eva was preceded in death by Henry, her loving husband of 61 years.
She is survived by her son, Ron and wife Helene of Boerne, TX; son, Mark and wife Karen of Monrovia, CA; and Marilyn of Boerne, TX; six grandchildren, Matthew and wife Mishawn, Daniel and wife Stephanie, Todd, Brook, Jack and wife Lauren, and Scott and wife Brittney; and nine great-grandchildren.
