Madeline Lowcella Eades

Madeline L. Eades, age 80 of Kingsport, went to be with her Lord on Sunday, June 20, 2010.

She spent her entire life devoted to her husband and family. She has been and always will be in our hearts-- remembering how much she is loved and missed. She was truly a gift from God to all who knew her. All of us are richer from knowing her and witnessing the example she set for all of us to follow. She is at peace now-- looking down protecting us, watching over us and forever loving us.

She is survived by a family she adored and fought to the end not to leave-- until it was her time. Now that time has come and we say goodbye to one of God's saints.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 55 years, Bobby Bob Eades; daughter, Linda Sue Yeary; grandson, Billy Joe Begley, Jr. and son-in-law, Herold Bishop.

Surviving are her daughters, Charlotte Neeley and husband, Kyle, Arlena Bishop, Kathy Begley, Jean De Priest and husband, Earl and Lori Peggy Veal and husband, Frank; 15 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, June 22, 2010 from 6:00 until 8:00 PM at Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Homes Kingsport. Funeral services will follow at 8:00 PM with Rev. Cecil Necessary, officiating.

Graveside services will be held on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 10:00 AM in Oak Hill Memorial Park. Family and friends should meet at the graveside by 9:45 AM.
