Eula Ann Widener

Eula Ann Widener, age 78, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 11, 2025.

Eula was born to the late James and Elizabeth Boone, and was known for her kind heart and love for people—she truly never met a stranger. Her warm personality and joyful spirit made her a light in the lives of those who knew her.

Eula found joy in being outdoors, especially mowing her yard. She had a special love for animals, particularly her fur baby Hazel. But above all, Eula cherished time spent with her family and her precious grandchildren. She was a devoted Christian woman whose faith guided her throughout her life.

In addition to her parents, Eula is preceded in death by her brother, Danny Boone; sister, Mae Fritz (RC Fritz); and two brother-in-laws Wayne Moretz and Kyle Grimsley. 

She is survived by her loving husband of 59 years, Jerry Widener; her daughter, Beverly Thomas (Danny); her son, Tim Widener (Veronica); and four cherished grandchildren Kelsey Hardwick (Kyle), Noah Thomas, Brian Roop (Anne), and Johnny Roop. Eula also leaves behind her five sisters: Peggy Gilley (Jack),  Brenda Morrison (Dean), Judy Grimsley (Keith), Jean Moretz, and Diane Grimsley; and two brothers: Jimmy Boone (Mary) and Bobby Boone (Brenda).

Other survivors include brother-in-law P.G. Widener (Dawn); sister-in-law Aimee Widener; along with several nieces and nephews. 

A visitation will be held on Monday, April 14th 2025, from 6:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. in the Frost Funeral Home Chapel in Abingdon, Virginia.
