Eva was born Aug. 17, 1943, to Manuel and Bernadine Martinez Valdez in Scottsbluff, the second of five children. Eva grew up in Mitchell and graduated from Mitchell High School in 1962. She attended Hollywood Beauty School in Scottsbluff and received her beautician license in 1963. Eva worked for Modern Beauty Salon in Scottsbluff for two years.
On April 30, 1966, Eva married Pedro "Pete" T. Castillo at St. Teresa's Church in Mitchell. The couple lived in Scottsbluff for five years before moving to North Platte in 1971 where Pete established Pete's Plumbing. Eva and Pete have three children. Eva worked several jobs in her life with her last one being housekeeping supervisor at Linden Estates.

You will embark on a fair sea,
and at times there will be fair weather, but not always.
You will meet storms and overcome them.
You will take it in turns to steer your boat through fair weather and foul. Never lose courage.
Save harbour awaits you...in the end.
