Romona Sharron Shriver, 82, of Grafton, went to be with Jesus on Wednesday, December 11, 2019, at St. Barbara’s Memorial Nursing Home in Monongah. She was born on March 08, 1937, in Elkins, a daughter of the late Emmitt McElwain and Mary E. (Morrison) McElwain Gibson. Romona was a loving and devoted wife and mother; a homemaker who always put her husband’s and children’s needs before her own. Romona was a devout member of the Trinity Assembly of God Church, where she taught Sunday School and other children’s ministries; she later taught adult bible studies, and faithfully volunteered at More Grace Outreach Center. She later attended Janes Memorial Church. She was a talented seamstress, whose work knew no bounds: she made wedding dresses, Madrigal gowns for Fairmont Senior High School, and could follow and develop any pattern. She is survived by three daughters and two sons-in-law: Selena Campbell and husband Raymond Glen, Lori Reese and husband Tom, and Ella Shriver, all of Fairmont; grandchildren: Brittany (Reese) Kahmar and husband Jonathan, Kyla Campbell, Iain Campbell, and Sara Campbell, all of Fairmont; great-grandchildren: Haley Kahmar, Zoey Kahmar, and Keegan Kahmar; sister-in-law, Deanna McElwain; brother-in-law, Harold Shriver, his wife Ethel, and his daughter, Susan Howell and husband Chuck; a nephew, Vince McElwain; and a niece, Kristen (McElwain) Davis. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 44 years, Spencer Alan Shriver. She was also preceded in death by brothers, Preston McElwain and Sheridan McElwain. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to More Grace Outreach Center at PO Box 18, Kingmont WV, 26578 or Teen Challenge at P.O. Box 4253 Clarksburg, WV 26302.
