Neva Arlene Nall Kernan's Obituary
Neva was born in Okeman, Oklahoma to Guy and Lona Nall. Neva asked Jesus to be her Lord and Savior at the age of 9. This decision ruled her life forever. At age 14, Neva met the love of her life and wanted nothing more than to marry Frank Kernan. She graduated from Seminole High School and married Frank at age 18. Upon completion of Frank’s military service they returned to Seminole, had their first baby, and prepared to attend Oklahoma A & M. They graduated and took a job with Borden Milk Company and they eventually settled in Oklahoma City in the mid 1960’s to raise their four children. Neva was a very successful Realtor in Oklahoma City, Midland, helping many young couples get into their first home. Frank and Neva attended Rhema Bible School, and served as pastors in Midland, Tulsa, and St. Louis. In their late sixties, Frank and Neva began the next chapter of their lives together living, teaching, and ministering overseas. After trips to serveral areas of the world they spent two years in St. Petersburg, Russia, and finally settled in the Czech Republic. Neva knew no matter where in the world she was, she was never alone because Jesus was always with her. Neva is survived by her son Mike and his wife Kay; son Pat and wife Annis; son Greg and wife Robin; daughter Becky; and 16 grandchildren; and 15 great grandchildren.A graveside will be held at Floral Haven Memorial Gardens at 1:00 pm .
