She moved to Pampa at the age of 10, with her family and attended school in Pampa through the eighth grade. Eva married Tony Lee Timmons on January 6, 1950. She was a stay-at-home mother when her children were younger and enjoyed taking care of her family and her home.

She served at a number of churches during her life including Fellowship Baptist Church, First Baptist Church in Lefors, Cornerstone Baptist Church, and Central Baptist Church in Canadian.
