Geneva Elizabeth Dalton of Lewisburg, Tennessee

May 22, 1933 - October 10, 2023

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Geneva Elizabeth Dalton, who passed away Tuesday, October 10, 2023, at age 90, after an extended illness. She was under the care of Hospice and the staff of NHC nursing facility in Lewisburg, Tennessee. We wish to thank the staff for the wonderful care she received.

Geneva was born Monday, May 22, 1933 in Lewisburg. With the exception of a brief stay at Marine Corps Base Camp LeJeune, North Carolina during 1952, with our father, the late Albert Stephenson Perryman, she spent her life in Lewisburg and Farmington.

Since her early teens, she was a member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses faith. She, her parents and two sisters were baptized in Houston, Texas May 9, 1948 at a District Convention.

She loved cooking and baking and her chocolate pies, lemon meringue pies, and biscuits were legendary. She also enjoyed tending her yard and cut her own grass until about 5 years ago. She also enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles and fresh water fishing.

Geneva is survived by son Larry D. Perryman (Ana) of Alachua, Florida, son Jerry W. Perryman (Peggy Jo) of Chapel Hill, four grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, sister Frances Whaley of Lewisburg, niece Deborah Whaley Vega of Lewisburg, numerous additional nieces and nephews, and stepson Norman Dalton (Kay) of Lewisburg.

Geneva was predeceased by her husband Johnny Dalton, parents Grover Lee and Evie Mae Adcox, brothers Gene and Robert Taylor Adcox, sister Alma Lee Bixley and grandson Jordan D. Perryman.

A memorial service will be held Friday, November 10, 2023 at 11:00 am at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1038 War Eagle Dr., N Ellington Parkway, Lewisburg, Tennessee. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Jehovah’s Witnesses of Lewisburg in memory of Grover Lee and Evie Mae Adcox.
