Eva (Shaner) Fuell Obituary (2014)

Eva May Fuell (Shaner), long-time resident of Tooele, passed away at the age of 81 on Thursday, July 24 in her home, surrounded by loved ones. Eva was born on March 2, 1933 in Iowa. In 1951 she married Bennie Fuell in Tooele, UT where their 4 children were born. Eva and Bennie were both active members of the Tooele Gem & Minerals Club (Rock Hounds) until Bennie passed away in 1996. Eva played with the Tooele Ladies Pool Leagues for several years where she became well known for her lively, resilient, and sometimes stubborn, spirit. Eva enjoyed crafts of all kinds including beading, sewing, crocheting, and quilting. Eva made “goodie bags” and other items for the Rock Show’s for many years, often enrolling the reluctant and often unenthused assistance of her visiting grandchildren. She enjoyed fishing and camping, but most of all, being outdoors. Her favorite outings included trips to Middle Canyon, just south of Tooele. Family has always been so important to Eva and she spent as much time with them as possible. Eva joins her husband Bennie, son Thomas, and son John in death. She is survived by her daughter Mary, son Lee, 5 grandchildren, and 17 great grandchildren; all of which, who live in Utah, with the exception of her granddaughter and 3 great grandchildren, who live in Alaska. Eva will be placed to rest with her husband Bennie at the Tooele City Cemetery on Wednesday, July 30. Funeral Services will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1025 West Utah Ave. Tooele UT 84074 at 11:00am. A viewing will be held prior to the service from 9:30 to 10:30.
