Mary May Eddy, 81, of Morgantown, went to rest in Heavenly peace on Monday, March 18, 2024.
Mary May was born Aug. 31, 1942, in Franklin, Pendleton County, a daughter of the late Ray Day and Geneva (Rexrode) Day Dahmer.
A 1960 graduate of Franklin High School, Mary May 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, Mary May 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. Mary May 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.
Mary May is survived by her daughter Traci Eddy Spohn and husband Toby, her son Bob Eddy and wife Chasity, and her grandchildren Elizabeth Spohn, Parker Eddy, Garret Spohn, Katie Spohn and Cooper Eddy. In addition, she is survived by her siblings Linda Robinson, Darlene Day, Rick and wife Rene, and Sue and husband Brian.
In addition to her parents, Mary May was preceded in death by her brothers Edwin “Bud” Day and Rod Day and former husband Evan Eddy.
Family and friends will be received at Hastings Funeral Home in Morgantown, on Friday, March 29, from 4-7 p.m. A funeral service will be held Saturday, March 30, at 10 a.m. with Pastor Josh Rhodes officiating, followed by a graveside service at Beverly Hills Memorial Gardens.
