Eva Dale Boon
June 10, 1920 - July 30, 2008
LURAY, Mo. - Eva Dale Boon, 88, of rural Luray, Mo., died peacefully Wednesday, July 30, 2008, in the Clark County Nursing Home, Kahoka, Mo., where she had been a resident for the past week.
She was born on June 10, 1920, at Edina, Mo., to Herman and Isabelle Stutsman Coffey.
She married Robert E. Boon on Sept. 3, 1944, in the Santa Fe Avenue United Methodist Church, Fort Madison. He survives.
Additional survivors include: her twin daughters, Virginia Warheit of Menlo Park, Calif., and Vivian Murphy of Keokuk; a brother, Frederick Coffey and his wife, Ruth, of Wever; a sister, Alberta Tipton of Mount Pleasant; two sisters-in-law, Shirley Boon of Fort Madison and Lola May Boon of Adel; three grandchildren, Vanessa Ingle Warheit and her husband, Nicholas Ingle, of Vancouver, BC, Jennifer Murphy of Milan, Ill., and Timothy Murphy and his wife, Tracy, of Luray; four great-grandchildren, Elliot Ingle, Cameron Moody, Lauren Moody and Tony Murphy; as well as nieces, nephews and other relatives.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Larry Coffey; and a great-grandchild, Ryan Michael Murphy.
She graduated from Fort Madison High School in 1938 and worked at Sheaffer Pen until her marriage, when she moved to Benicia, Calif., where Bob was stationed during World War II. They returned to Fort Madison in 1946, and in 1954 moved to Clark County, Mo., where they farmed and raised their family.
Eva and Robert were both members of the Santa Fe United Methodist Church in Fort Madison and later the Revere Community Church. They attended the Kahoka United Methodist Church in more recent years. Church and family were important to her and she taught Sunday school and Bible study for many years, beginning in high school. She was also active in the Women's Aid Society of the Revere Community Church. Her Christian love extended beyond this area to include the Christian Children's Fund, to which she and Bob have been devoted for decades.
She was also a member of the former Chambersburg Jolly Dozen Extension Club and a 4-H leader. Eva Dale had 50 first cousins, and for more than 50 years faithfully attended the Stutsman family reunion at Edina, never missing one.
She was an excellent baker, cook and seamstress. She also found beauty in nature and expressed her talent through her oil paintings. She was a helpmate, mother, grandmother and true example to others in her Christian witness.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Friday in Wilson Funeral Home, Kahoka, with the Rev. William S. Mitchell officiating.
Burial will follow in the Chambersburg Cemetery northwest of Kahoka.
Visitation is today at the funeral home, with family receiving friends from 6 to 8 p.m.
Memorials may be made to the Chambersburg Cemetery.
