Eva Nena Gill

Eva Nena Gill, age 85 of Rupert, Idaho passed away on Sunday, May 16, 2010 in the Parke View Care Center in Burley, Idaho.
Eva was born in Norwood, Missouri, on February 27, 1925, one of seven siblings born to Jesse and Nola McGowan. She lived her younger life in Missouri where she grew up on the family farm.
On December 29, 1946, Eva married Brendon G. Gill in Reno, Nevada. In their earlier years, they lived in San Lorenzo, California where Eva worked for Rawlston’s Drug Supply Company and the Kelly-Springfield Tire Company. In 1978, they moved to the country near Bryon, California.
Eva and Gill shared many outdoor activities, including fishing, abalone diving and gardening. She was a wonderful homemaker who always had an open door for family and friends; something tasty to eat that she cooked, baked or canned; and a friendly game of cards or dominos. Eva also enjoyed crafts and made beautiful hand-stitched quilts. In 1994 her husband Gill passed away. In 2003, Eva moved to Rupert, Idaho to be near her sister, Pauline Ball Cooper and family.
She is survived by her brother: Willard McGowan of Mtn. Grove, Missouri; her aunt: Gladys Pruett West and daughter, Mary Ann Steinman of Brentwood, California; and many beloved nieces; nephews; and cousins.
Besides her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by two sisters: Doris and Pauline; and by three brothers: Robert, Lee and Merle.
