Eulogy written by her daughter, Cheryl Munson

Our beloved Eva will be dearly missed. She was a special lady, a neat lady, a wonderful person to those who loved and adored her so much.

Kenny and Eva have been married for 48 years, they have a daughter Cheryl, and a son Kenny, Jr. They, like so many, had a humble beginning. They started out in small rental in Artesia, and in 1970 they bought the Buena Park home they live in today.

A natural born athlete Eva played tennis, and softball, but the sport she loved the most was bowling, she had the honor of bowling with some of Southern California's best. Her bowling career began when she joined the McDonnell Douglas swing shift league at Clark bowl with her older brother Wilbert. And she continued to bowl with her husband Kenny. Her tournament days began in the early 70's when she won an amateur tournament put together by Lou Kasnik. Lou coached Eva and sponsored her for many years in the Western Women's Professional Bowlers tour. In 1975 she won her first WWPB tournament, the Merrill Matthews Invitational, Long Beach. Her family enjoyed traveling with her to watch her bowl. A good bowler in his own right, with three 300's, Kenny was very supportive of Eva and very proud of her bowling accomplishments.

Eva has bowled two 300 games and has carried a two hundred plus average for over twenty years. The highlight of her bowling career came when she, along with one of bowling's finest, Terry Brent, was awarded the life time achievement designation and was inducted into the Orange County Bowling Hall of Fame in 2006.

Aside from bowling, Eva had a blast when Kenny, Sr., coached the little league team that Kenny, Jr. played on, and the mothers of the boys that played got tired of just sitting in the bleachers so they started a ladies soft ball league. Her team was named in classic 1970's flair the "Foxy Ladies". Of course the Foxy Ladies were the best team in the league.

Kenny even talked her into going deep-sea fishing with him, once. She didn't have any trouble catch fish, it was the getting sick part she didn't like so much.

Eva always looked forward to her trips to Vegas, on her birthday and with her Vegas leagues, she was very lucky and liked to play the poker machines.

Eva wholeheartedly enjoyed going to work every day, as the Senior League Coordinator, and the league statistician for Linbrook Bowl, the bowlers adored her because she genuinely loved being there for them. They always knew they could come to "Eva" for anything and she would take care of it. Eva worked at Linbrook Bowl for 21 years, "She was a strong and honest competitor, a great colleague and friend."

She was special in so many ways.
