"Mrs. Eva G. Dickerson, affectionately known as "Sunshine," of Welch, West Virginia, departed this life on Wednesday, November 5, 2025 in Morgantown, West Virginia, following illness."Eva was born in Bluefield, West Virginia on the 7th day of September, 1954 into the parentage of, Grover A. and Etra Bell (Baker) Nemore. After completing her education at Welch High School, she moved to Detroit, Michigan. While living in Detroit, she was employed by the airlines and dedicated her time and energy to her job. Her employment with the airlines was a testament to her hardworking, adventurous spirit. Even though she was miles away from her family, she carried their love with her.
"Eva's life was defined by warmth and her connections to others. Her greatest pleasures were found in peaceful, personal moments sitting on her porch, while enjoying the outdoors. Her laughter, stories and good conversations with her friends and family was shared by telephone calls and visits. Also, riding with the music flowing through the car stereo and vacationing, whenever possible. She had a keen fondness for both the imaginative and the thrilling; which created her love for "sci-fi" and scary movies.
"Eva was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Clyde Dickerson; several siblings: James Baker, Ray Baker, Robert Nemore, Ethel Saunders, Wasella Baker and Maxine Stanton. Their memories remained as a part of the rich tapestry of her life.
""Sunshine" leaves to cherish her memory; a devoted selection of friends and family; which includes her siblings: Raymond (Iris) of Greensboro, North Carolina, Ralph (Carmen) of Oceanside, California, Reginald (Sabrina) of Pasadena, California, Richard of Kimball, West Virginia, Benny (Ethel), Todd and Sandra (Michael) all of Oceanside. Also, a loving "Auntie/Mommy" to Kortez Baker; she touched the lives of many other relatives and friends who mourn her passing and celebrate her life.
"Eva's life bore witness to the importance of connections to family, to music, to stories shared on porches and phone lines, to imaginative journeys on screen and on the road. To know her was to feel the glow of someone who loved deeply and laughed easily.
"Her spirit continues in the memories she leaves behind; the phone call you're going to make, the porch you're going to sit on just a little longer, the ride you'll take with your favorite song turned up, the chilling thrill of a scary movie on a dark evening. In each of these moments, Eva "Sunshine" Dickerson lives on!
"Eva's Celebration Service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, November 14, 2025 at Emmanuel Tabernacle Church, 50 Chestnut Street in Kimball, with Pastor Georgia Smith officiating. Interment will follow in Restlawn Memorial Gardens, 6605 New Hope Road in Bluewell, West Virginia. Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM. Services entrusted to Gregory-Page Funeral Home in Welch."
