1924 - 2008
Eva Rae Back, 83, Gallipolis, Ohio died Saturday, May 24, 2008 at her residence. Born September 23, 1924 in Switzer, WV, she was the daughter of the late Fred and Elmer Hall Akers of Logan, WV.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Verlon Back and her youngest son, Jerry Back Sr.
Eva is survived by her eldest son, Thomas Lee Back of Gallipolis; two sisters, Ms. Elizabeth Juanita Crum of Camden, SC and Ms. Freda Jean Williamson of Frazeysburg, OH; two grandsons, Air Force Master Sergeant Jerry L. (Penny) Back Jr. of Rembert, SC; Kevin J. Back of Hartford, WV; great granddaughter, Joy Lynn Back of Rembert, SC; three half brothers and six half sisters. The Back family would also like to give special recognition to Ms. Sandy Byer of Gallipolis, for her unwavering support over the last 15 years; she was considered the daughter Eva Rae never had. In addition, the family would like to thank Ms. Susan Lester, Fredda Browning, and Holzer Hospice for the wonderful around the clock care they provided in her final days.
Eva was a homemaker most of her life. In the 1940's, she worked for a Delaware based Department of Defense contractor, where she manufactured artillery shells during World War II. She enjoyed watching Nascar, Marshall Football, listening to gospel music, and playing Rook with her family.
Funeral services will be Wednesday, May 28, 2008 at McCoy-Moore Funeral Home, Wetherholt Chapel, 420 First Ave., Gallipolis with Pastor Andrew Parsons officiating. Burial will follow in Ohio Valley Memory Gardens, Gallipolis. Friends may call at the funeral home, Tuesday, from 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Condolences can be emailed to www.timeformemory.com/mm. |

Tom one of the most read versus in the Bible show confindence in God's grace to you and your family in this time of mourning...
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; they rod and staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the prescence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen. Tom you showed your Kindness, Love, Understanding and caring for your Mother by moving back home to take care of her what a good son you have shown her May God Bless you and accept that blessing Tom as God has walked with you throughout this path.
