EVA (CLARK) SHERMAN

Eva Clark Sherman, 97, of Richmond, passed on to a better place November 9, 2017 at 2:40 p.m.

Eva was born June 7, 1920 in the Henrietta Bottoms of Ray County to Clark and Emma McCanless.  She always said she was just an ole country girl, a fact she was very proud of.  She was a homemaker and an avid gardener who loved to pull weeds and mow her yard.  On November 4, 1949, she married James Henry Sherman.  Jim and Eva farmed the Henrietta Bottoms the duration of their marriage until shortly before Jim passed in October of 2000.  Eva was also a member of the Henrietta Baptist Church.

Eva was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and three beloved sisters, Alpha Hewlett. Fleta Register and Norma Stockton.

Survivors include: her daughter, Sharon Ann Arnold (Michael), her son, James Raymond Sherman (Lisa), and her five grandchildren: Eric Arnold, Kelli Selph (Joshua), and Hank, Kate and Andrew Sherman.

The family suggest memorial contributions be made to Shirkey Nursing and Rehabilitation for the wonderful loving care Eva received while living there.

Graveside services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, November 17, 2017 at Richmond Memory Gardens in Richmond.  Thurman Funeral Home, Richmond is in charge of arrangements.  On line condolences may be left to the family at www.thurmanfuneralhome.com.
