Eva Brunner • 1911 - 2008 Eva Marie Brunner was born March 26, 1911, on a farm in Karlsruhe, ND, the daughter of Frank and Katherine (Holzer) Boechler. She was raised on the farm and moved to the Minot area in her teens to work as a housekeeper. She returned to the farm to raise her remaining siblings after her parents died. On July 8, 1946, she married Michael P. Brunner at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Karlsruhe. They moved to Minot where they lived for the remainder of their lives. They had six children. Michael passed away in 1966 and Eva raised the children to adulthood. Eva worked as a housekeeper and later as a cook for the Elks, Little Flower School, Minot State College, and Flakey Crust, all in Minot. She retired in 1981 to take up a job she loved, baby-sitting the grandchildren. She was very involved in Little Flower Catholic Church.
