Eva Scott was born Eva Kenneway. Her grandparents were David and Agnes Whyte, who emigrated from Scotland and her mother was one of their nine children They settled in the Wembley area where David worked in the mines at Millarston and Dimsdale becoming the foreman for the Schneider Mine and the Tissington Mine. Eva's parents were Mary and Jim Kenneway and Eva went to school at Mountain Springs School for a short while before the family moved to Grande Prairie. Eva started teaching at the Peace School of Hope operated by the Grande Prairie and District Association for the Mentally Retarded, and her parents operated Barry Dale House, a dormitory for the children. Eva acquired her B Ed. and an M. Ed. And taught in Montrose Junior High School Grande Prairie for many years.
