1927 - 2013
 Mrs. Eva Mae Spears, 86 years old, left us to begin a new life on Tuesday, September 2, 2013. Eva was born July 2, 1927 in Ona, WV, to the late Rev. R.L. and Una Black. Also living in their home was Evas grandmother, the late Betty Elizabeth Becky Black, whom she loved so much. Eva married the love of her life in 1945, the late Lonnie W. Spears and they raised their family in Roach, WV. She is survived by their daughter, Elizabeth Lou Spears of Huntington, WV, and their two sons, Pastor William Bill Spears married to Patricia and John Mark Spears married to Monica, of Barboursville, WV. She leaves behind grandchildren Matthew Lusher, Amanda McKenzie, Christy and Jim Copley, Jamey and Betty Spears and four great grandchildren, Scott, Heather, Lydia and Issac. Preceding her to Heaven was her angel here on Earth, her great grandson, Nathaniel Spears who brought so much joy to her life. She also leaves behind three brothers, James and Don and Bonnie Black of Milton, and Bobby and Shirley Black of Ona, WV. She was preceded in death by two brothers, Rev. Richard Black of Barboursville and Homer Black of Beloit, Wisconsin. Also left behind are many nieces and nephews who call her Aunt Mae . Eva was a member of the Roach Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School for many years. In her later years she attended Lighthouse Baptist Church in Milton. The family wishes to thank, with all their hearts, the staff of Lincoln Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Hamlin where Eva spent the last four years of her life. God bless you all for the love and care you gave to our mother. Friends may call from 5-8 pm Wednesday at the Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville. The celebration of Evas life will be at 1:00 pm Thursday, September 5, 2013 at the funeral home. The service will be conducted by her son, Pastor Bill Spears and her friend, Pastor Carl Merritt. Burial will be in Ridgelawn Memorial Park, Huntington, WV. Online condolences may be expressed to the family at www.timeformemory.com/wallace. |

I grew up with Eva Mae and her family. When my mother lost a baby Eva May came to the house and took care of mom, something mom mentioned several times. My thoughts and prayers are with Bill, Mark and their families. God Bless.
