Edna M (More) Hitchcock

Edna M. Hitchcock , 82 of Circleville, passed on to glory on November 12, 2022. She was born on May 30, 1940 as one of seven children to Walter and Mary (Cleveland) More in Gilboa, NY. Edna married the love of her life, Guy Hitchcock, on August 2, 1958. In addition to her parents, she is proceeded in death by her sons Randall and Jeffrey Hitchcock, and daughter- in- law Tara Hitchcock.

Edna is survived by her husband Guy, son Greg (Heather) Hitchcock, daughter Valerie (Spencer) Travis, and Aaron (Regina) Hitchcock, along with loving grandchildren Melissa (Mark) Matson, Amanda (Jeremy) Jackson, Thomas Hitchcock, Maggie Hitchcock, Joshua Travis, and Zane Travis.  Edna loved children, especially her grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren (Brielle, Hunter, Zachariah, and Ezekiel Matson, and Eleanor Jackson) with whom she loved to spend time.

Edna grew up farming and loved to ride horses. Music, Scripture, and prayer were a comfort to her during her illness as she prayed for God to bring her home in recent months to begin her eternity with her loved ones who had passed on. Her greatest passions were caring for her family, always killing it in the kitchen by cooking huge, amazing meals-complete with incredible baked goods. She always had her children, grand, and great grandchildren by her side in the kitchen starting to cook and bake as soon as they could walk. Her passion for gardening created beautiful vegetable and flower gardens; roses were her favorite.  Edna was one of the most loving and caring people you could meet until she got a card game started – then all bets were off because let’s just say she had “ways of winning”. Edna loved to dance; it was where she first approached a young man named Guy at a dance in South Kortright, New York, where they danced the night away and started what would be a beautiful relationship of dancing for a lifetime with her sweetheart and 64 years of marriage. Guy and Edna attended church between Blessed Hope Church and First Baptist in Ashville, Ohio.

Visitation will be on Friday, November 18th from 10:00 a.m. until time of Funeral Service at 11:00 a.m. at Oliver-Cheek Funeral Home, 420 W. Main St. Ashville, OH 43103.  Interment will follow at Reber Hill Cemetery, Ashville.   Edna loved flowers while she was alive and was blessed by many through the years with beautiful bouquets. The family is asking in lieu of flowers send donations to Hospice at Promedica, 116 Morse Road, Circleville, Ohio 43113.  Online condolences at olivercheekfuneralhome.com
