Eva loved to travel and became known to her family as the gallivanting granny. She enjoyed watching wild birds and had a passion for gardening. Eva had a zest for life; her laughter warmed ones heart. She would grace those around her by reciting poetry that she had learned from her mother.

In addition to her parents, Eva was preceded in death by her loving husband, James J. Delbrugge; children, Catherine Delbrugge, Michael Delbrugge; siblings, Bryan, Richard Unterzuber, Verna Delong, Rose Cadmus and Virginia Fabry.
