Eddis spent her summers in Franklin but when cool weather arrived, she returned to her home in Winston-Salem. She will be remembered for her dedication to both her churches where she remained active almost to the end of her life.

Nunn, Jr., of Bermuda Run; four grandchildren, Herbert R. Hall, Jr. (Fleeta), Judy Everhart (Clarence), Daughn Eagan (David) all of Winston-Salem; and Gordon Nunn of Pittsburgh, PA; and six great-grandchildren, Brooke DiSorbo (Steve), Sandy Hall, Christopher and Kerry Eagan, and Ryan and Lane Everhart.
