...There's one more thing I'd like to say about Aunt Doll. I used to hate the fact that my name was Eula and would ask my mom why she named me that. I hated it so much that I used to say that I would change it when I became grown. One day, I thought about the fact that my mom loved and adored her big sister so much that she wanted to honor her by giving her name to one of her children. I am blessed that I was the lucky one. My Aunt Doll will truly be missed. I love her always and hope to do the name proud.

To the family of Eula McNichols. She will be remembered and missed by everyone she came in contact with. The example she set as one of Jah's servants speaks for itself. She is due for her blessing Prov 10:7a. So hold your head up, she fought the fine fight of the faith and won. Let's be there to meet her. Rev 21:4 Love you

My Dearest Friend Geanie,
When I first met Sis. McNichols it was one of the first few times of my attending meetings at the Kingdom Hall. She would always be one the first ones to approach me with her kind words and warm smile telling me how nice it was that I was there. That really meant alot to me over the years. I really enjoyed working together with her out in the ministry especially during our long days when we were pioneering and we packed lunches. Those are wonderful times that I will cherish. She had a sweet way about her where she could talk to anyone and they would listen to her with the greatest amount of respect (yes maam) and invite her to come back again.
She really loved Jehovah and it showed. No matter what trials she was going through she always had a smile on her face and encouraging experiences to share, that would lighten the mood and put a smile on others faces. Sis. McNichols will always have a place in my heart as we look forward to seeing her again in paradise!
Love you much,

My sweet Grandma words can not begin to express the way I feel about the time that we shared together. I am blessed to have a grandma that loved me no matter what. I never had to wonder where I stood with her because there was no other place to stand but in her heart. I will always love you grandma!!!
Love,

My Aunt Doll was one of kind. As I remember her I reflect on her kind words, beautiful smile, heart felt letters, and I dare not forget, her beautiful scarves and necklaces. I will always cherish your love and kindness shown towards me. Forever will you be in my heart and thoughts!

Gean,
I will always fondly remember the time when Aunt Doll and Robbie came to Memphis on the Greyhound. By the time I arrived at the station to pick them up, they were sitting down eating. Aunt Doll said the food looked so good, they couldn't resist. The few days they were here I took them to Widner, Arkansas. On the way, Aunt Doll saw a cottonfield so we stopped so I could take a picture of her picking cotton. I still have that picture which I will cherish and the time we spent together during her visit.
May God strengthen you and the family for the days ahead.

Gean,
Your mom has set the perfect example of a person who walked with Christ. She exemplified his qualities and has truly made Jehovah's heart glad.
She of course has made all of our hearts glad as well. She was faithful under trial and she will always be known as an integrity keeper.
She set an example that we too can follow so we can be with her in the new system of things.
She was an inspiration to me and one of the reasons I am a Pioneer today. You too Gean are following in her steps by imitating Christ Jesus in keeping your integrity. You have been through so much and yet you are still keeping your relationship with Jehovah.
It is a priviledge to know you and to have known your mom.
I love you both! (Philemon 1:4)
Keep the Faith my Sister,

For My Dear Sister,
You truly will be missed by me.
I have many wonderful memories of Doll.
The most precious thing she use to always
say to me was that we were sisters in two ways,(Blood Sisters and Spiritual Sisters.) I will always hold on to that and so much more. I truly miss her.
Love Virginia

Gean & Alonzo,
I am so sorry that I was not physically able to be there at your mother's funeral but I was there spiritually. I am so glad that I was able to interact with your mom during her lifetime. She was a wonderful woman and most of all Gean you were a wonderful daughter to your mother. Your thoughtfulness and giving of all your time was definitely a blessing to your mom!
Both of you stay strong and remember you will always be in my prayers!

Eula Mae, was a pioneers, pioneer. She truly relied on Jehovah! We hope that her pioneer spirit has rubbed off on our children and that they can be half the pioneer she was as they reach their goals. Urbandale will truly miss her!
On a personal note, she was my and my brother's (Mark) babysitter. Everyone who has children knows that from an early age children develop how to LOVE from the heart and be loyal, how to share, talk, and walk with the person who is with them the most. Which are babysitters/ or daycare providers when parents have to work. She taught us how to recite the books of the bible, how to spell Jehovah's name from an early age. Some of the same techinques that we have shared and continue to share with our children today. She was our family! She was our first "grandmother" in the truch. She went to conventions with us reguarly, family vacations with us, spent quality time at our house and many, many dinners together here in Battle Creek and at our second house in Cleveland with my Grandmother. Even when ill, while visiting her she always had good advice to share with the young (Markell, Marquis & Mikah) concerning serving Jehovah and being true friends and what that really means.
The Spivey family, Mark, Kim, Markell, Marquis, Mikah and Kaycee look forward to seeing her smile, and her in paradise without her cane! We look forward to her little laugh and most of all her hug!

For the Dearest Person
My sweet Aunt Doll was a very important part of my exsistance. The very present of her gave me such peace. If I've known a angel, it would be her. Truly a part of her lives with me that I will never let go. And, Gean I love you just as much. I know she will watch over us and if it was left up to her we all will be together again.
Gean, my prayers really go out to you, and all that was close to her.
Love, Joyce.

My Mother in law. What can I say about her that has not already been said. I can say what a wonderful wife I have, I have a wife that knows how to love, how to give of herself to her family and friends. She knows how to be a wife and mother, because her mother taught her. Her mother taught her to love Jehovah. My mother in law was not a person that outwardly showed her affection for people; she showed it by her actions. BUT, to her grandchildren she gave all her love. She loved each one of her grandchildren wholeheartedly and gave her love to them. When they were little they loved coming to grandma's house. She fed them well, taught them about Jehovah, acted out Bible characters with them, to make the events real in their minds and heart. I remember my first large convention I went to in Pontiac with her. We had Alonzo, Nikki, Tony & Kahnethe with us. Somehow she got away from the crowd; at Pontiac Silverdome with over 30,000 people.! It took us well over an hour to find her. By then it was pouring down rain and we all got drenched. It wasn't funny at the time but afterwards we all laughed about it. She never tried to get us to do things for her that she could do for herself. Gean tried to keep up with her mom but sometimes her and Robbie would be gone and wouldn't let her know; she said sometimes you just want to not have to be on someone's elses timeclock, so she'd take the handivan to Meijers and take her time; I know they both learned to listen a little more to their children about who was a safe driver or not, it took them to experience it to listen. To know Eula M. McNichols was to love her. I am so thankful for having the pleasure of knowing her and being her son in law for 35+ years. She became my 2nd mother. I will miss her but know I will see her again in the resurrection. Thanks to everyone for their support of our family during this difficult time. Gean needed every one of you.

Gean, Jehovah's comforting spirit will contine showering upon you and yours. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Gean,
During my deepest time of sorrow(the passing of my sister)I could always call Aunt Doll and she would always have words of spiritual inspiration and comfort.
The memory of my Aunt Doll's sweet and loving spirit will forever live in my heart and you are in my prayers.

To have known Doll (EULA) was to love her. I will always remember Doll for her loving spirit, kindness, patience and understanding. Being the oldest she would tell me things about me that I was too young to remember because I was her baby sister. She told me about things I said and did. Some things were good, some bad, and some funny. I miss talking to her. I miss laughing with her.
Your baby sister loves you.

I have fond memories of my aunt. From my childhood one thing I will always remember and that I always liked about "Aunt Doll" Is that whenever I would see her or whenever she would visit I would get a BIG hug and smile. The kind of hug that let you know that you were loved.
I'll always remember you Aunt Doll.

I truly love my Aunt Doll. Even though Aunt Doll lived in Battle Creek, and I lived in Rochester, it seems like she was next door. I can remember as a child how much my Aunt Doll love the Lord.

You Both know the Hurt! that I feel inside my heart, losing my second Mother in this terrible system of things. But I realize thar these are only the begining of "The pangs of distress" (Mat.24:8)

Gean, your Mom was one of the sweetest ladies I've known over the years. One thing that Eula would do every month was to call and check on Mama. She would always say Hi, is this Betty. I would say no, this is Sandra. She would
always ask how I was doing and is your Mom busy. She was such a nice lady.

What I remember about Aunt Doll is her sweet spirit. She was always so kind and loving. I never knew how she received the nick name Doll, but it was so fitting for her because she was such a Doll. I was thankful to have her in my life to show me how you can still be a nice person when you go through the storms of life. I will truly miss her. Rosemary Knox

To the family of Eula McNichols, I just wanted to say that I have been truly blessed to have her as part of may life. Sister McNichols was one of the kindest, and sweetest persons I have ever known. I will miss her warm and encouraging conversations I always got from her after the meetings. I remember working in field service with her and my grandma, back when my grandma was driving her red Horizon. And whenever me and Little Alonzo needed someone to work late in service with us to make our time we could always count on her for a call. I look forward to hearing her voice and seeing her sweet face in the paradise. With much love.

To my very dear friends. I am very sad for you all during this very difficult time. I am so glad to have know sister McNichols and the strong pillar of support for Jehovah's sovereignty. I do remember the time she told us out in field service about how she stood up to a bully when she was a child. Made me think that there was nothing that would stand in her way for upholding what was right and just. She will be missed, but her Legacy will live on in our memories and in Jehovah's. All My Love.

Aunt Gean, I remember grandma was a trooper. Everywhere we drove around town she would seem to be there. I remember she was at burger king on north ave and we asked her if she wanted a ride and she said,"No that's okay Baaaaby I'll walk or take the bus." Well we convinced her to let us give her a ride home. She is a good person and she served Jehovah faithfully. That's a fact! You are a good daughter and you were there for her. And that will be the first thing she remembers when she wakes up. I love you Aunt Gean.

gean, your mother was the kindest soul. all the years we have known each other, i never heard your mother speak an unkind word of anyone. and she could be funny, too. i remember the time we were going to an assembly as teenagers and you asked me to guess your mother's age. i said 45 and you replied rather hurt, "my mother isn't that old." your mother, however, never blinked an eye and simply smiled. i will always remember her smile and gentle nature. you were a good daughter, my friend.

My grandma was a very special lady. Everyone that knew her could say the same....she was such a thoughtful & loving person I learned so much from her. The way she would treat people was the reflection of how Jesus was. She was so genuine and kind how could you not have love for her. I know my grandma was faithful to Jehovah but she was also faithful to people she met in the field ministry. She really wanted to help people learn about Jehovah to help them have the chance of everlasting life. She took every chance she had to help people even if it meant her personal comfort being interrupted. Grandma never made people feel uncomfortable. She even had a hidden talent, she was a comedian. I don't even think she knew it but she was. She loved to laugh she definitely made me laugh. Grandma had some of the funniest sayings but I won't mention them if you knew her you know. LOL! I loved her so much and I'm going to miss her. I won't be overly sad because I will see her again soon.

I can't think of a nicer person that I have ever met than my Grandma. She truly never met a stranger. I hope in my life to be half as nice and kind as she was. In Battle Creek she is a spiritual icon. I will miss her, but only for a short time. I have never been more convinced that someone will be resurrected to the paradise earth than I am that Eula McNichols will be there.
Thank you for everyones support during this sad time.

Everyone thinks their mother is the best. I can say the same about my wonderful mother. For me she was the best. She was self sacrificing for her children; she did without for us to have. She never complained about her lot in life. She was independent and only asked for help when she couldn't do it herself. She LOVED JEHOVAH! She was not a hypocrite. She was loyal to JEHOVAH! Larry and I both knew that she was there for us come thick and thin, but if it was ever between her choosing to support us or support the principles in the Bible we knew her loyalty was with her GOD. She has left a legacy in me that will live on. May I try to fill her shoes in my dedication and loyalty to Jehovah. I KNOW she will live again and all I have to do to see her again is continue serving Jehovah with a pure heart as she did.

My "Aunt Doll" is one heartbeat away from the resurrection. I find comfort in knowing that I will see her again. Aunt Doll encouraged many to seek Jehovah. Let's examine our relationship with Jehovah so we too can have her unwavering hope in his promises.
