Neva had a heart that was even bigger than her personality and she was loved by all that knew her! She was a loving wife, mother, grandma and great grandma! She was devoted to her family and her friends that she loved like family, she would do anything for them. Neva married Glenn Bovill on August 15th 1936 in Rock Port, MO. When Glenn was called to serve in WWII, she was faithful to write him everyday for three and a half years. She was also a hard worker at a small cafe in Wahoo but she loved cooking for her family most of all! Neva was known by all who loved her for her caring spirit, unending support and genuine love for all that touched her life. With a personality that was always full of laughter and a love of life, she thrived on being surrounded by her family and friends. An avid Husker football fan, she faithfully followed the Huskers. At 84, she the most important decision of her life when she placed her faith in Jesus Christ alone for her salvation. When Neva made her mind up she always stuck to it and it was no different when she said she was going to celebrate her 100th birthday! One of her happiest days was celebrating that birthday with all of the people she loved most!
