Eva was born in the Town of Rathbone on October 26, 1930, the daughter of Lewis M. and Helen M. (Demun) Williams. She was a graduate of Addison High School.

As well as being a homemaker, Eva was a long-time rural mail carrier, working from the Addison and Woodhull Post Offices. Prior to being employed with the postal service, she had worked at Crawford's Store in Cameron Mills. She was a member of the Hedgesville Presbyterian Church. She loved to bake and was renowned for her delicious cinnamon rolls. Always very active, Eva was an avid walker and enjoyed square dancing.
Besides her husband Ron, Eva was predeceased by her daughter and son-in-law, Karleen and Robert McCarthy, her granddaughter, Latrisha McCaig and her brothers, Paul Williams, Glenn Williams, Merle Williams and Harold Williams.
She is survived by her children Carolyn McCaig of Addison, Donald (Michaeleen) McCaig of Addison, Ronald (Jenny) McCaig of Woodhull, Glenn McCaig (Melody Robinson) of Addison and Dennis McCaig of Knoxville, PA, 16 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren, her sister, Arda Draper of Addison and several nieces and nephews.
