Eva Virginia Stalnaker's Obituary
Eva Virginia Anderson Stalnaker, born June 26, 1925, passed away Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at Teays Center.
Eva started working at Holsum Bakery in her early teens, where she met her husband. After having her two girls, she became a Kanawha County School Crossing Guard in Dunbar. She also worked part-time at Dunbar Toy Store. She later became a clerk at Cliff's Market, later A & R Market, in Dunbar.
At age 50, Eva had the opportunity to attend a nursing assistant class at Ben Franklin Technical School. After her successful graduation, she moved from the Dietary Dept. to the Nursing Dept. at Charleston General Hospital. She later transferred to the Memorial Division, where she later retired. She then devoted the next several years as a caregiver to her mother and her daughter, Pame's, mother-in-law. Her last three years of employment were with Lawsons Floor Coverings.
Eva was a faithful servant to her Heavenly Father at Dunbar Mountain Mission. She worked as a youth leader, teaching at Vacation Bible School and was an active quilter with other women of the church. Her greatest joy was being a member of the choir, singing during services and traveling to a local nursing home.
Eva was preceded in death by her husband, Orville G. Stalnaker, mother and father, Martha and Robert Anderson of Charleston and granddaughter, Angela Dawn Lawson.
She is survived by her daughters, Beverly S. Bolles, Ed.D. of Dunbar and Pamela S. Lawson, Ph.D. and husband, Joe of St. Albans; grandchildren, Amy Booth of St. Albans, Joel Lawson and wife, Alyssa of Cross Lanes; four great grandchildren, Angela Booth, Reece, Sophie and Charlotte Lawson; sisters, Frances Dickson of Charleston and Sylvia Bailey of Dunbar and loving niece and nephews.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, April 21, at the Dunbar Mountain Mission with the Rev. Ronald Fisher officiating. Burial will follow in Grandview Memorial Park.
Viewing will be held two hours prior to the service at the church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to HospiceCare, 1606 Kanawha Boulevard, West, Charleston, WV 25312-2536 or to the Alzheimer's Association, 1111 Lee Street, E., Charleston, WV 25301.
