Eva G. Hoy Haelen

November 19, 2018. Eva was born on June 3, 1930 in Queens, NY, and grew up and attended school in Clyde, NY. She later earned a B.S. degree from the University of Rochester and was a long-time Eastman Kodak employee. Eva was an active member of the Irondequoit Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, serving as a NY State Regent, and most recently volunteered in the library at the Harvey Ely Chapter House. Her strong interest in genealogy led her to successfully complete and self-publish a Hoy family history.

(Jess) Haelen; her parents, Alfred and Ocie (Snively) Hoy; sister, Winifred (Hoy) Barnes and brother-in-law, Robert Barnes; brother, Daniel Hoy and sister-in-law, Jane (Hermenet); brothers-in-law, Robert Haelen, Thomas Haelen, and Robert Wahl. Survivors include sisters-in-law, Nancy C. Haelen (Robert), Dorothy B. Haelen (Thomas), both of Rochester; Lorraine Haelen Wahl (Robert), Florida; several nephews and nieces.
