Mary May Eddy, 81, of Morgantown went to rest in Heavenly peace on March 18, 2024.
She was born on Aug. 31, 1942, in Franklin, a daughter of the late Ray Day and Geneva (Rexrode) Day Dahmer.
A 1960 graduate of Franklin High School, Mrs. Eddy worked at Western Auto in her young adult years.
In 1963, she married and dedicated her time to raising a family, maintaining a busy and loving home and eventually, being a doting and loving grandma. Along with being a beloved mom and grandma, she was a treasured sister, aunt, cousin, and friend.
Family and friends knew they could call her for advice on gardening (no flower ever died on her watch), laundering (no stain was safe), or cooking tips and recipes. She was also a great listener and a good source of life advice. She was an avid reader and rarely missed watching her beloved Duke basketball team. She had fond memories of listening to Pirates games with her dad on the radio and continued to enjoy following them for many years. She took great pride in her yard and flowers and could often be seen outside working in her yard.
She enjoyed spending time with her children and was always there to listen. She loved and kept up with her siblings, also. Above all, she treasured her grandkids and was so proud of the young adults each of them have become.
Surviving are a daughter, Traci Eddy Spohn and husband, Toby; a son, Bob Eddy and wife, Chasity; grandchildren, Elizabeth Spohn, Parker Eddy, Garret Spohn, Katie Spohn, and Cooper Eddy; and siblings, Linda Robinson, Darlene Day, Rick Day and wife, Rene, and Sue Denham and husband, Brian.
She was also preceded in death by her brothers, Edwin (Bud) Day and Rod Day; and former husband, Evan Eddy.
Family and friends will be received from 4 – 7 p.m. Friday at the Hastings Funeral Home in Morgantown. A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday with Pastor Josh Rhodes officiating, followed by a graveside service at Beverly Hills Memorial Gardens.
Condolences may be sent to the family at www.hastingsfuneralhome.com.
