Services for Etta Mai Overbey Conner, age 85 of Bon Aqua, will be at 1 p.m. Friday, September 30, 2016 from the graveside at Conner Family Cemetery, Lyles, Tennessee. The family will receive friends at the Taylor Funeral Home on Thursday from 6 until 8 p.m. Mrs. Conner died unexpectedly Tuesday, September 27th at her home.
Born in Hickman County, Etta was the daughter of the late Amos and Mamie Angeline Tidwell Overbey. She loved to cook, to travel and to tend to her flowers. With her late husband, Ernest Conner, Jr., she owned and operated the Antique Mall in Murfreesboro. But she was a mother, homemaker and farmer by choice! She loved the spirited “Rock ‘N Roll” Elvis (not his sad and sentimental stuff) and she loved to “crank it up” where you could feel it and not just hear it. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and a member of Centerville Chapter #329, Order of Eastern Star.
Survivors include her daughter, Ginger Rivers, Bon Aqua; grandson, Joel Daniel Rivers (Mindy), Bon Aqua; granddaughter, Alexandria Sharlene Crews (Jared), Edmond, OK; great grandchildren, Tomas Daniel Rivers and Anna Katerina Rivers.
