Born October 11, 1925 in a historic home in Arcadia, Missouri designed by her paternal grandfather, fourth in five generations of architects. In 1947 Eva received an AB from Washington University in medical research, and married pharmacist Raymond Kemps Kirkpatrick, her husband of 51 years. They raised their three children, Vera May, Rodman Kemps, and Becky Anne in Antonia Missouri. Their home, Stonebrook, is a modern house designed for Kemps and Eva by international architect Harris Armstrong, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as of January 2010. In this woodland setting, the couple continued their work with the St. Louis Audubon Society and the Fish and Wildlife Service, successfully rehabilitating hundreds of injured wild birds. Simultaneously, she pursued her passion for horticulture through the Federated Garden Club, honing her talent as an award-winning flower arranger and judge at competitions held throughout the state. Active in her community, Eva taught for 24 years in Jefferson County, receiving her master's degree from Webster University in Science Education / Environment in 1970. After retiring she became the Director for the Mastodon Science and Art Regional Fair, and in seven years built the fair from 15 to nearly 3000 annually-participating students. Under her leadership, the Mastodon Fair achieved international status, acclaimed to be the largest of its kind in the world. In 1995, she was elected to a six-year term on the Board of Trustees of Jefferson College. She became a member of Missouri's Writer's Guild and Writer's Guild of Jefferson County in the1980's. As a gifted writer, she published numerous Stonebrook nature articles, science publications, books, monographs, magazines and newspaper articles, including a series of Opinion Shaper articles as columnist for Suburban Journals. Her readers selected her as their favorite columnist in 1996. Eva and Kemps were members of Grace Presbyterian Church in Crystal City. She is remembered as "loving mother" by her daughter Vera May Kirkpatrick McCullough and son-in-law Carl Duane; son Rodman Kemps Kirkpatrick and daughter-in-law Nanda Victorine Duhé; and daughter Becky Anne Kirkpatrick Osbourn and son-in-law James Elkin; as "loving grandmother" by Erin Aine McCullough, and twins Reilly Kemps and Russell Evariste Kirkpatrick. She is survived by her brother Louis William Miller, sister-in-law Linda Margaret Naquin, and niece Alison Margaret Miller of Palos Verdes, California; and by first cousin Samuel Martin Heuertz and his wife Jennie Lynn Bobo, their son Samuel Wayne Heuertz and his wife Debra Jean Teeter, their granddaughter Samantha Ashton Heuertz of Charlotte, North Carolina. In April 2011, the Missouri Academy of Science recognized Eva Carolyn Miller Kirkpatrick, presenting her with The Most Distinguished Scientist Award for her major contribution to Science Education.
