Eve loved travel and spent her free time traveling extensively. Eve was a writer and avid photographer, creating many travelogues of her excursions. Eve was also known for her skills as a gracious hostess at the numerous parties she gave for her wide circle of friends in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
In 1978, she married Richard Lee, who also worked for ARAMCO, at a memorable ceremony in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
After retirement, they lived in Houston and California before indulging their shared love of travel by spending six months in Europe. They retired in South Pasadena, Florida, and continued to entertain their many friends earned over a lifetime of travel and experience.
