Mrs. Neomia Daisy Spencer, formerly of Asheboro, NC transitioned peacefully to her heavenly home on April 13,2026 in her current home of Florida.
A funeral service will be held on Thursday April 23, 2026 at Ridge Funeral Home Chapel. The burial will follow at Randolph Memorial Park.
Neomia was born in Chatham County on July 13, 1944 and was the daughter of the late Percy and Claudia DeGraffenreidt.
She was a God fearing woman with a sweet spirit who loved serving as an usher and Sunday school teacher at Christian Covenant Church for many years. Praying for and serving others was a natural gift God gave her.
She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and aunt with so much love in her heart for family.
The loving bond between her and our dad made her home always feel like a place of healing with everything continuously neat and clean giving, an ambiance of peace and security when coming home to visit. The love between them was a reflection of the joy and passion they had for one another.
Cooking, sewing, watching NBA, WBA, and NFL while keeping score were her hobbies. Most of all, reading God’s word was her favorite pastime. It truly blessed her soul when family came together as it always brought her great joy to spend time with her grandchildren who she took pleasure in helping nurture and spoil.
She lived her last years in Florida where she enjoyed sitting on the back porch watching the ducks, cranes and gators swim in the pond along with watching the boats sail out in the lake as she ate ice cream; her favorite dessert.
Neomia was an employee of Dixie Furniture for 10 years; learning the furniture trade and Technimark Molding for 14 years where she enhanced her knowledge of the plastic industry by taking classes at RCC.
She is survived by her daughters, Teffany Shepard (Daniel) of Florida, Melissa Venable (Charles) of Charlotte, NC, sisters, Mary Brooks of Greensboro, NC, Elizabeth Walker of New Jersey, Louise Hand (Larry) of New Jersey and Lillian Neal of Detroit;
