Ethel Geneva Anglin Lawson passed away peacefully at Life Care Center of Banner Elk, NC, on September 6, 2022, at the age of 94. Born on August 6, 1928, in Madison, NC, to Ethel Gilbert and Ernest Lee Anglin, Geneva lived a life dedicated to her family and her Lord. She was an active member of her home church of North Spray Christian in Eden, NC, and later in life at Boone United Methodist Church, in Boone, NC, and Calvary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, NC. Geneva had a strong, abiding faith and often spoke with great anticipation of her final reward, which she has received at last.

Geneva graduated from Madison High School and attended Woman's College of UNC where she perfected skills that would lead to a successful career as an executive assistant. Upon leaving Woman's College she accepted a job at Fieldcrest Mills in Eden, NC, where she worked for more than 30 years in varying support roles for some of the company's top executives. Geneva was a single, working mother who was devoted to her only son, Tom (Megan), whom she leaves to cherish her memory.

Until her health began to decline, Geneva was a fun-loving, active little lady who enjoyed many things in life, especially listening to music and dancing, even earning a Gold Medal in Team Line Dancing at the NC Senior Olympic Games. She enjoyed church and volunteer work and served on the Salvation Army Board in Eden.

Geneva also cherished her role as "Nana" to her grandsons, Will (Molly) and Charlie Lawson. In addition to her son and his family, Geneva is survived by her only brother, Lee (Carol) Anglin.

Special thanks to the Life Care Center of Banner Elk staff for their loving care the last years of Geneva's life and to the Amorem Hospice team for being there for her transition to Heaven.

The family will hold a private graveside service in Madison, NC, and invite family and friends to join in a celebration of her life at Centenary United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem on October 16, 2022, at 2:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial gifts be made to the Winston-Salem Street School, 630 W. 6th St., Winston-Salem, NC 27101 .
