In 1927, Eta Lipkhina completed six classes at the Jewish primary school in Riga. From 1928 to 1941 she worked as a saleswoman in Natanson’s shoe shop in Riga.

In 1945, Eta Lipkina returned to Riga and worked as a storekeeper in the canteen of the Zagotzerno enterprise until 1947. From 1947 onwards, she was a homemaker.

In her marriage to Israel Pinkhusovich Lipkhin (1908, Ludza), two children were born: Rosa Lipkhin (1948, Riga) and Pinkus Lipkhin (1955, Riga).

During the war, Eta Lipkina lost her entire family. Her parents, Shabse Ioffe (1884, Riga – 1941, Riga) and Rocha Ioffe (née Grinhold) (1885, Riga – 1941, Riga), and her sisters Sheina Ioffe (1908, Riga – 1941, Riga), Masha Ioffe (1920, Riga – 1941, Riga), Frida Ioffe (1922, Riga – 1941, Riga), and Hana Ioffe (1924, Riga – 1941, Riga) were all killed in the Holocaust.
