Eveline Gentry

Mrs. Eveline (Ellis) Gentry was born in Lovelady, Texas and raised in

Crockett, Texas by Mr. J.D. and Mrs. Ethel Ellis. In 1968 she moved to

Seattle, WA with her infant daughter, LaShandra Ellis. In the early 70’s, she

accepted the Lord and eventually made Northwest Evangelistic Center her

home church under the leadership of Pastor Harold Wood, where she was

active in the Prayer Ministry and choir. While a faithful member of this

church, she met and married her late husband Mr. Kenneth Gentry and

together they were blessed with a child who preceded them in death.

Eveline eventually became employed with the United States Postal

Service where she retired after 41 years of service. During her time on

the job, she operated under the spirit of evangelism as a witness for the

Lord, winning numerous souls for the kingdom of God. In 1991, she and

her husband became faithful members at Tabernacle of Praise Church

in Seattle, WA. She served in the prayer ministry and flowed in a strong

prophetic word until they moved to Texas in 2016 to be closer to family

where she lived until her passing.

Sister Eveline was loved by many and will always be remembered for

her contagious laughter and beautiful smile. Eveline is preceded in death

by her parents J.D. Ellis and Ethel Ellis; and her siblings: James Ellis,

Valine Ellis, Ethel Authorlee, J.D. Ellis, Jr., William Ellis, and Curtis Ellis.

She is survived by her daughter LaShandra Ellis of New Orleans, LA, her

Brother David Ellis and his wife Eugenia Ellis of Crockett TX, and her

sister Dorothy Davis of Crockett, TX. She has one Grandchild, Shetoia

Ellis, and one Great Grandchild, Darrin Hawkins, Jr.
