Obituary
Eubelia Spencer Jobe, 96, formerly of Gladstone, died September 17, 2014 in Virginia Baptist Hospital. She was the wife of the late Horace David Jobe, Sr for 55 years.
Born in Lynchburg, August 30, 1918 she was a daughter of the late John and Mary Alice Miller Spencer. Eubelia was a long time member of Gladstone Memorial Baptist Church. She graduated from E.C.

She worked for a short period at Philadelphia Children's Hospital and returned to Virginia Baptist Hospital where she was a R.N. on the OB floor and nursery for over 30 years until she retired. Eubelia's house was always filled with aromas of her baking and cooking, especially her famous pound cake. She had a great love for knitting hats, afgans and baby clothes, the clicking of her knitting needles will be greatly missed. Eubelia loved animals and sheltered many strays.
