Neva Lunn

Neva (Nelson) Lunn, 83, of Bradenton, FL, finished her earthly journey and went home to heaven on March 31, 2023, with family by her side.

Neva was born on Jan. 11, 1940, in St. Ansgar, Iowa to Laura (Hackbarth) and Clarence Nelson.  She graduated from St. Ansgar High School in 1958. She married Larry Lunn on June 27, 1959, and the couple had three children.  She spent the majority of her adult life in Charles City, IA, where she was a hairdresser and school bus driver. In retirement, she and her husband, Larry, volunteered with MMAP for 10 years before settling in Sebring, Florida, until Larry’s passing.  Nurturing came natural for Neva, caring for elderly friends and volunteering with hospice.

She accumulated friends wherever she went and always wore a smile. She loved singing, playing games, reading books to her grandchildren, traveling and, later in life, sitting in the lanai having her daily devotions, watching birds and enjoying wind chimes.

Neva’s faith, family and pets were her world.  She will be greatly missed by her two daughters Gloria Lunn of Bradenton, FL, Lois (Gene) LeForge of Midland, MI, and son, Al Lunn of Manly, IA; her grandchildren Josh (Jenni) Lunn, Kyle (Susie) LeForge and Christina (Nathan) Price and her great grandchildren. Neva was preceded in death by brothers, Sanford and LaVerne Nelson, and her mother and father.
