Neva loved bingo, shopping especially QVC and Christmas, enjoyed polka music, dancing when she could and coordinating the work football pool. She was dedicated to helping others, but her greatest joy was the time she spent with friends and family, particularly the grand and great grandchildren.

In addition to her husband and parents, a son Terrance M. "T" Griffith is deceased.

Friends will be received from 1 to 3 and 6 to 8 Tuesday, in the McIlvaine-Speakman Funeral Home Ltd., Robert K.
