Georgia Evelyn Spires

March 25, 1946 - April 5, 2018

Georgia Evelyn Neel Spires, 72, passed away surrounded by her beloved family on Thursday, April 5, 2018, at Bay Medical Center in Panama City, Florida. Born March 25, 1946 in Altha, Florida. Evelyn is preceded in death by her parents Andrew and Mildred Neel. She was a spirited, proud and loving woman who made things happen through grit and gumption and never let anyone get in her way, all of which are values she instilled in her children and grandchildren. She spent most of her later years enjoying cooking, taking pictures of her fur-baby Lola, sitting on the porch drinking coffee and chain smoking. She lived life on her terms and is cherished by many as Aunt Evelyn. She is survived by her son Tommy Fowler and his loving wife Amanda, who is regarded as a daughter and a devoted friend; her daughter Sonya Fowler, who is very proud to be very much like her Mama; her granddaughters, Savannah Fowler (Tommy) and Weslyn Newburn (Sonya); beloved sister/daughter Debby Wood who loved her as a mother; Debby's children Lance Herndon, Jade Wood and Brettlyn Lipford who loved her as their Nannie and she loved them and regarded them as her grandbabies; her brothers Carl Neel and Clarence Neel and her very beloved, loyal companion Lola. Details of an intimate Memorial Service are forthcoming for family and close friends.
