Hilda Sheets Jividen

July 6, 1938 - March 20, 2019

Hilda Sheets Jividen, 80, of Cross Lanes, WV, entered her eternal home Wednesday, March 20, 2019. Her faith is now sight (II Corinthians 5:7). Hilda was born July 6, 1938. She lived in Buffalo, Eleanor, and Cross Lanes, WV. She was the daughter of Warner M. and Leota Sheets. Hilda graduated from Buffalo High School, Bob Jones University, and Marshall University. In addition to her many family roles, Hilda taught first grade at Cross Lanes Christian School for 25 years. She assisted with many mission trips, served as spelling bee coach and guidance counselor, taught private piano lessons, and was an avid Mountaineer fan. Whatever she did, she did all to the glory of God (I Corinthians 10:31). She is survived by her husband of almost 60 years, Vernon; by her children and their spouses, Joel and Jane, Joanna and Jeff; by her grandchildren and their spouses, Janae, Jillian and Tim, Jessica and Dan, and Jamie. She is also survived by her sister and husband, Barb and Jim. Thank you to Kanawha Valley Senior Services, Hospice Care, and Miss Janette for their compassion and loving care. There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday, March 23 at 11:00 a.m. Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m. at Cross Lanes Bible Church, 5442 Big Tyler Road, Cross Lanes, WV. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Cross Lanes Christian School’s Scholarship Fund. You may share memories by visiting her tribute page at ChapmanFuneralHomes.com. Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: “Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.” Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31:28-31
