She was born in Racine on May 1, 1924 the daughter of the late Soren and Eva (nee: Von Gonten) Sorenson.

Eve worked as a registered nurse, last working for S.C. Johnson and retiring from there after many years of dedicated service. She was a life member of Holy Communion Lutheran Church, which her mother was a founding member. Eve was an avid traveler, golfer and tennis player all of which she enjoyed with her many close friends. Eve is survived by her close relatives; Sharon (Bob) Ensweiler, Karen (Ronald) Celesnik, Gary Davis and her wonderful long-time friend Marge Sweet. Eve was preceded in death by her parents, brother James, step-mother Ruth (nee: Allen) Sorenson, cousin Shirley Foster, many aunts and uncles and her life-long friends, Irving and Shirley Christensen.
