Obituary for Vera Lorene Eitson (Hillman)

Vera  Lorene  Eitson (Hillman)
Vera Lorene Eitson, age 96, passed away on Wednesday, December 21, 2016 in Irving, Texas. She was born to Joe and Myrtle Hillman on October 14, 1920 in Prague, Oklahoma. She married John Eitson in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1952. She resided in Midwest City, Oklahoma for many years where she was a homemaker. During her early years she worked in a bank in Meeker, Oklahoma for many years and later at a steel company in Oklahoma City until the birth of their son. She was active in the PTA for her son’s elementary school where she was a Homeroom Mother to many. Even today some of her son’s friends still talk about the handmade items she gave to them at Christmas. She was active at Midwest Boulevard Christian Church in Midwest City where she helped with financial recordkeeping. Her hobbies included crocheting many things, especially afghans. Vera and John moved to Irving, Texas to be near their son John and his family in 1991. She is preceded in death by her husband John Eitson, her parents, and her two sisters. She is survived by her son John of Irving, Texas and his wife Leigh; grandchildren, Jennifer Eitson of Irving; Jonathon Eitson and his wife Megan of Denton, Texas; her great-granddaughter Kinslee Eitson, and two nephews, Ronald and Mike Fairbanks and their families of Shawnee, Oklahoma. She was a good Christian, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and sister-in-law. She will be missed by all. We are extremely grateful for the compassionate care she received at Avante Rehabilitation Center where she resided and from the nurses and aides at Vitas Hospice. Memorials in her honor may be made to the charity of your choice. Visitation will be held at Brown’s Memorial Funeral Home in Irving from 10:00am to 11:00 am on Friday, December 23rd followed by a graveside at 11:30 am at Oak Grove Memorial Gardens in Irving with Dr. Rusty Hedges officiating.
