      Evelyn Leona Gross Bonham, age 83, of Kermit went to be with her Lord and Savior on November 10, 2009 at her home after a long illness. She was born on January 3, 1926 in Holliday, Texas to Buman & Claudia Gross. She grew up in Seagraves, graduated from Seagraves High School and met the love of her life in Seagraves, Harold J Bonham. They married on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1947. Harold & Evelyn were happily married for 55 years before his death in 2002.

      Evelyn was a resident of Kermit for 42 years where she was also a faithful member and secretary of Eastside Church of Christ before her illness kept her at home.

      Evelyn was preceded in death by both her parents, her husband, her grandson: Shannon Health Bonham, as well as 6 brothers: William Gross, Lester Gross, Leslie Gross, Wesley Gross, Lonnie Gross, and J. B. Gross - all from Andrews, Texas.

      Evelyn is survived by one son: Dwayne Bonham and wife Glenda; and one daughter: Phyllis Renz and husband Jim, both from Fort Stockton, Texas; two grandchildren: Frank Bonham of Fort Stockton and Philip Renz from Spur, Texas; one great-grandson: Matthew Trey Bonham from Pierre, South Dakota; two brother-in-laws: Jack Bonham and wife Lucille from Washington, Iowa and Bill Bonham and wife Laverne of Houston, Texas; one sister-in-law: Cherry Gross from Andrews; and numerous nieces and nephews. She also had 3 wonderful caregivers that are part of the family: Becky Quiroz, Minnie Griffis, and Donna Chacon.

      Services for Evelyn will be at Eastside Church of Christ on Thursday, November 12 at 2 p.m. with Brian McGonagill of Carlsbad, New Mexico officiating. Interment will follow in Andrews at the Andrews Cemetery at 4:00 p.m. under the direction of the Family Services Funeral Parlor in Kermit.
