"Eva M. Story, 90, of Covington, passed this life to be with the Lord at 11:20 a.m. EST Sunday, Dec. 16, 2007, at The Waters of Covington, where she had resided for the past eight years. She was born April 27, 1917, near Cayuga, the daughter of the late Willis (Boss) and Fern (McBee) Dunavan. When she was 19 years old, they moved to State Line. That is where she lived when she graduated from high school. She then moved out of her home and lived with her sister, Iva.
She married Perry G. Story on Jan. 1, 1940. He preceded her in death on July 12, 1978. Also, her one and only son preceded her in death on Oct. 6, 2003, in Covington; her three sisters, Iva, Mildred and Opal, also preceded her, along with her brother, Ralph. One sister, Betty Lou Willer, also survived her, along with Hazel and Bob Linesay of Arizona. She, as said by Hazel, was more like a sister to her. She is also survived by two granddaughters, one grandson and six great-grandchildren.
Eva was a member of the First Assembly of God Church in Covington.
Eva's own words were: "The highest price that I could give, and all of my heart was heavy. The tears flowed down. I know you could say you could hear my soft, still voice saying, "Don't cry for me." Just remember the love we all shared and the beautiful memories we have. I know I am in a better place. God and Jesus loved me." - Commercial News, Danville, Illinois, December 18, 2007
