Obituary for Paul King Eller

Paul King Eller, 89 of Salem, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 11, 2012 while surrounded by his family. Mr. Eller was born on February 14, 1923 to the late Henry Clinton and Mollie King Eller in Tazewell Co., Va. Following high school he attended Coyne College located in Chicago to earn a certificate in electrical technology, and was later drafted in the U.S. Army Air Corps to serve his country during WWII. During his enlistment he flew over 70 successful missions as a top turret gunner on the B25 bomber. He later became a lifetime member of the 57th Bomb Wing Association to honor those he served with. He will also be remembered for his faithful dedication to College Lutheran Church as he has been a member since 1957, and also his employment to General Electric as he was employed for a near 28 years prior to his retirement in 1984. In addition to his parents Mr. Eller was preceded in death by four sisters, Izella, and Ozella Eller, Virginia Akers, and Shirley Robinson; and daughter, Deborah Eller. Family left to cherish his memory include his wife of 64 years, Dorothy McFarlane Eller; daughter, Sherrie Eller Sherertz, and husband Chris; son, Stephen Eller, and wife Robin; daughter, Mollie Eller Garrett, and husband Fred; grandchildren, Matthew Sherertz, Miranda Zintgraff, Paul R. Eller, Keri Eller, Stephen Garrett, and future grandchild, Baby Garrett; special grandchildren, Nick, and Kaitlyn Deaton; and three great-grandchildren also survive. The family would like to offer a special thanks to the staff of Good Samaritan Hospice, and also to their dear friend, Joe Kraft, for the care that they have given to the family. Funeral services will be conducted on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 11 a.m. at the College Lutheran Church in Salem with the Rev. Wynemah Hinlicky officiating. Entombment will follow at Sherwood Memorial Park, Salem. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, March 13, 2012 from 5:30 until 8 p.m. at the John M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home in Salem.
