Neva Dell Eirls and Virgil Frederick Schupp were married April 29, 1951 in Sedalia, Missouri and celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in 2016. Neva waited for Virgil while he served in Korea and helped on the farm. To say she loved her husband, her kids, grand kids, great grand kids and many pets over the years would be an understatement.

She belonged to the New Lebanon Home Improvement Club for over 40 years and did Volunteer Mending with the church women at Katy Manor. Neva was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was very proud of her entire family who in her estimation could do no wrong. Neva was a great cook, seamstress and gardener, an avid reader, loved word search puzzles and playing Bingo, Rack-o and Uno. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
