Eva Kissel Obituary
NORWALK - Eva Jeanette Kissel, age 86, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July 26, 2017 at Gaymont Nursing Center after a long battle with Alzheimer's.
She was born August 30, 1930 to Bert and Bertha (nee Starkey) Carnahan and had been a lifelong resident of the Willard/rural Greenwich areas. Eva attended Willard High School and graduated from the class of 1948.

She was preceded in death by her husband in 2000, Virgil K. Kissel, whom she married October 21, 1948; son, Kenneth E. Kissel; two sisters, Gertha Kissel and Ruth Laser and two brothers, Corwin "Bob" Carnahan and James Carnahan.
