She was born on Feb. 19, 1951, in Scott County, Virginia, to Mildred Louise Osborne Honeycutt and W.W. Honeycutt. On Dec. 9, 1972, she was married in Angola to Roll Dean Neeley. They raised two children and shared 35 years of marriage together before he passed away on July 31, 2008.
Prior to the illness that disabled her activity, Edna retired from Zimmer Inc. in Warsaw, where she was a seamstress. She fought the disease which took over her life with dignity and determination and a “never give up” attitude.
She enjoyed sewing and exercising her green thumb gift of tending to her flowers. Sunshine warmed her heart and encouraged her. Edna was a wonderful mother, grandmother and sister whose smiling face will be dearly missed and forever loved by her family and many friends.
She will be lovingly remembered by her son, David (Charisse) Neeley, of Warsaw; daughter, Lynette Burris and fiance Jim Ward, of Lebanon; six grandchildren:?Tadd, Tanner, Taylor, Trevor, Olivia and Tabitha; and one great-grandchild, Lucas. Also surviving are her three sisters: Madge (Leo) Dennison, of Wabash; Norma Reichard, of Kingsport, Tenn.; and Mary Wells, of Kingsport, Tenn.; and three brothers: Tommy Honeycutt, of Wabash; Ronnie (Penny) Honeycutt, of Fall Branch, Tenn.; and Rickey (Lynn) Honeycutt, of Prestonsburg, Ky.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.
Visitation will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Redpath-Fruth Funeral Home, 225 Argonne Road, Warsaw. Edna’s life will be celebrated with a service immediately following visitation at 1 p.m. and officiated by Pastor William Whitaker. Burial will follow with a graveside service at Mentone Cemetery.
