Eva Mae Anderson, age 82, went into Gods care on Saturday October 16, 2021. She was born on January 5, 1939, to William S. and Emma Mae (Heathscott) Gray. Eva married her one and only love of her life James Conrad Anderson Sr. June 5, 1955. They had six children and were married for nearly 62 years.

Eva was the type of person who wouldn't ask something of someone that she herself would not do. She was a wonderful mother to her six children and acted as a mother and grandmother figure to everyone she knew. She favored her home activities including sewing, cross stitch, crocheting, and cooking. She is remembered as a spiritual leader in the community, hosting fellowship every Sunday for breakfast and lunch.

Survivors of Eva include five of her children, Amanda (Michael) Barg, Cynthia (Jeffery) Thomas, Micheal (Tricia) Anderson, Garrett (Kristine) Anderson, and Mary (Bruce) Ware; Daughter-in-law Debbie Anderson; many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren; siblings William (Shirlee) Gray, Elberta (David) Horton, and Eddie (Candy) Gray; and many nieces and nephews.
