Born October 27, 1914,
age 95, of Universal City and San Antonio, passed away at 6:10 pm, Monday, 28 June 2010
in San Antonio, after a long struggle with Alzheimer's. Born in Rosholt, South Dakota, 27
October 1914, to Peter Herman Pederson Eidet and Selma Henrietta Adelia Peterson, the
former Evelyn Olga Eidet moved to Washington, D.C., during World War II, to work in
Civil Service. Joining the Women's Army Corps as an officer in 1947, she was assigned to
Headquarters, 5th Air Force, Nagoya, Japan, where she met Master Sergeant Daniel M.
Gunn, U.S. Air Force. They were married on 8 November 1948 and Evelyn began a
married life of accompanying her husband to assignments around the nation, including
California, Alaska, Georgia, and finally Randolph A.F.B., Texas. During these assignments,
Evie was usually hired by the Civil Service as a financial analyst. During her final
assignment at Randolph, she was the budget analyst with responsibilities for all six Air
Training Command pilot training bases. She retired at Randolph as a GS-13 in 1980 after a
career in Civil Service that exceeded her husband's 34 years of military service. Shortly

buried at the Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery, 1 February 1999. Evelyn is survived by
