She was born in Coamo, Puerto Rico; daughter of the late Jose Maria Rolon and Justina Ortiz prior to relocating to the Connecticut area many years ago.

Eva loved to eat arroz con gandules, batatas con bacalao and platanos fritos. She will always be remembered as a feisty little lady with no filter.
