Eddy was born on Oct. 3, 1926, in London, England, to Albert and Edith (Wells) Trayford. She attended school in London, graduating from Essendine School in 1944. Eddy met and married Harold Ceynar, an American serviceman, in London, and Eddy came to America as a war bride in 1946. The couple's union was blessed with four children, but they later divorced.

Eddy became an American citizen in 1964, along with her good friend, Doris Mist. In 1957, Eddy married Frank Rucinsky, the love of her life, and they were married for 53 happy years, until Frank passed away in January 2011. To this union, a son was born. The couple also raised their grandson Jay Rucinsky for 12 years. Eddy is now at peace and reunited with her beloved husband, Frank.

She worked as a bartender at Andy's Supper Club, and then later at Kmart as a merchandiser. She retired in 1988, at which time she and Frank went to England to visit her family.

Eddy was preceded in death by her husband, Frank Rucinsky, in 2011; her son, Terry Ceynar in 1992; her parents, Albert and Edith Trayford; and her sister, Doreen Trayford.
