Eita Mary Griffin was born to John William Griffin and Cecilia Leahy Griffin on June 18, 1903, at Grafton, and passed away on June 3, 1986, at the Fillmore County Hospital in Geneva at the age of 83 years, 11 months and 15 days. She was one of eight children in the family. Eita moved with her family to the Geneva area in 1912. She received her elementary education in rural schools and at St. Joseph's Catholic School. She was graduated from the Geneva Public High School with the Class of 1921. Shortly after her graduation, she went to work for the Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph Company, and after 38 years of service she retired in 1963.

Eita belonged to St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Geneva and to the Altar Society. She was a member of the Telephone Pioneers Association.
