Obituary:
Elwonda Heatherly was born November 16, 1933 in Ava, Missouri, only child of Elizabeth Rhoades and Curtis Evans.
She attended schools in both Ava and Exeter, graduating high school from Ava High.
She married her true love, “her curly red headed man” on December 23, 1950, at age 17 and they were married for nearly 69 years before his passing in 2019.
To this union were born two daughters, Patty Spott and Elaine Oh.
After moving the family to Exeter in 1955 she worked for Paragon Cleaners for 20 years. At the age of 40 she returned to college to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a nurse graduating second in her class.
Working in the obstetrics department at the Exeter Memorial Hospital was the pinnacle of her working career. She was then employed by Kaweah Delta Health Care until she was 77.
Elwonda passed July 11, 2024 and leaves her loving family behind; daughters, Grandchildren, Heather Medina (Lucas), Christopher Journey ( Deanna Canepa), Katrina Schoenwald ( Brett), Marissa Cordes ( Ryan) as well as 13 great grandchildren and one great‐great grandson.
She was preceded in death by great grandson Nathan White.

Donations in her memory may be made to her beloved Farmersville Free Will Baptist Church.
