Eloise Covington Bouder

“Til we meet at Jesus feet.” Eloise was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, George Bouder; her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.M. Covington; her sister, Jeanie Wright; a brother, Carl Covington; and many dear friends who are now celebrating with her in Heaven.

Family left to cherish her memory are brother, James and his wife Joy Covington; brother-in-law, Eddie Wright; sons, Dwayne and his wife Phyllis Bouder of Meridian and Steve Bouder of Knoxville, Tennessee; daughter, Deb and husband John Losey of Helena; grandchildren, Daniel, Paul, Liv, John, Joy, Jessie, and Stevie; and great-grandchildren. Eloise will be missed by friends, caregivers, and all those who truly loved her.

“Even with darkness sealing us in, we breathe thy name. And through all the days that follow so fast

we trust in thee.” Eloise had a kind heart and a sweet soul, and she knew how to pray. She trusted God: Even in her darkest hours, she was a reflection of God’s love to others – without a need for words. Her smile and her presence were sufficient for us, as God’s grace was sufficient for her.

"At the moment of my death, my strength is from Heaven.” Eloise loved her family and friends. She loved hummingbirds and blue butterflies. We believe she left us for Heaven on the wings of Angels.
