Eva Dale had 50 first cousins, and for over 50 years faithfully attended the Stutsman family reunion at Edina, never missing one. She was an excellent baker, cook and seamstress. She also found beauty in nature and expressed her talent through her oil paintings. She was a helpmate, mother, grandmother, and true example to others in her Christian witness.
