Our beloved Effie L. Acuff, age 89, of Anna, Texas left this world on October 31, 2011. Her story began on March 25, 1922 in Collin County, Texas as a gleam in the eyes of her parents Charles A. and Telitha Rose Copus. Marrying the day after her graduation in 1940 to the love of her life, Kever L Acuff, she began her life as a military dependent, and became the mother of Thomas Acuff in 1946. Together with her husband, Effie was dedicated to the Church of Christ where she voluntarily created the Cradle Role Class with the help of a Davis Street Church of Christ co member and spent most of her adult life teaching babies about God through song and visual aids. As the Davis St. Church of Christ grew into the Westside Church of Christ she continued to teach classes as well as train other members to develop into the teaching staff of the Cradle Roll Classes at High Pointe Church of Christ. As life progressed, she was co-owner/operator of Kever’s Clock and Watch Repair and Kever's Mobile Home Park, where she managed and maintained the 22 lot facility. She is survived by her granddaughters, Leanne Willis of Anna, Texas, Ashley Smith of Golden, Colorado and Keri Acuff of Dallas, Texas; sister, Mary Nichols of Conroe, Texas; six great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and a host of other loving family and friends.
