endured the hardships of the loss of her mother who died of
the 1919 flu, then of WWI, and the depression, Eva developed
a strong work ethic that helped her raise and support her
two daughters, Patricia and June McFarlin, from her first
marriage.
During WWII, she became a part of the new working women
generation, employed at the Badger Ordnance Plant in
Baraboo, Wisconsin. On July 3, 1946 she began a 60 year
marriage to Jay Marshall Paddock and took on various
traditional jobs.
As her extended family grew and moved away, Jay and Eva
vacationed yearly in California with visits to Chicago, the
Badlands, Yellowstone, Reno, and Las Vegas. Eva enjoyed fond
memories of the shows in Las Vegas and Reno.
She suffered from Kidney problems from a young age, and
had numerous eye operations, and more recently several

months in residence at Villa Pines.

and two infant brothers.
