She was born in Macomb on Sept. 4, 1919, to Leslie and Alice Kaiser Larson of rural Colchester, where she grew up on the family farm. She married John "Jack" Horine in 1941. They had three daughters who survive, Sherry (Tom) Hainline of Catlin, Ill., Tana (David) Elder of Petersburg, Ill., and Kathleen Riepe of Bloomington, Ill. Ten grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and 11 great-great-grandchildren also survive.
She married Glenn Winter on Aug. 23, 1978. He preceded her in death in March 2004.

In addition to her three daughters and their families, Eva had many passions, including gardening, ballroom and square dancing, clogging, swimming, reading, art, cooking, baking and playing board games. She was a professional level seamstress, making her daughters' clothes growing up, their wedding dresses, grandchildren's clothing and her and Glenn's elaborate square dance outfits.
She served as Sunday school superintendent and on the administrative board of Wesley United Methodist Church while living in Macomb. She was a deaconess and volunteer for the United Presbyterian Church in Peoria, Ill.
