The fourth daughter of General Stefan Temesy and Ludovika Temesy née Messek, she was born in Győr, the most important city in northwestern Hungary. She attended elementary school and afterwards (1940–44) "Szent Margit Leánygimnázium" (St. Margaret's School for Girls) in Székesfehérvár in central Hungary. In the turmoil of the invasion of Hungary by the Red Army, the Temesy family left the country and settled in the Styrian capital Graz in eastern Austria, where the young Eva resumed her secondary education at BRG II for Girls in 1946 - from which she graduated with distinction in 1949. In the same year, she enrolled at the University of Graz to study botany. Her doctoral thesis, entitled "The Polytypic Species "Saxifraga stellaris" Linné" , which she wrote under the guidance of Professor Felix Joseph Widder, earned her in 1954 the degree of Ph.D. "Sub auspiciis Praesidentis" - the highest honour which may be bestowed by the Austrian University system.
