Eva was born on May 10, 1927 to Mathias and Magdalene (Martin) Magilke near the Cannonball River in Sioux County. The family moved to Minnesota where Eva was educated to the 11th grade. The family then moved back to the Cannonball area, where Eva taught school. She met Ralph at his going away party before he entered the US Army. She always said it felt like "We were made for each other." Eva and Ralph were truly a team where one's weakness was the others strength, they built many businesses together. Eva also worked at the US Postal Service before retiring after 25 years of service. Eva was well known as a hard worker and frugal woman, whose family was her comfort and joy and she was always there to take care of them.
