Addie L. Driver, 75, passed away
suddenly on Monday, Feb. 10. She was born Nov. 2, 1927, in
Kosciusko, Miss., the daughter of Chauncey and Lela (McMillan)
Tower, and had been a South Bend, Ind., area resident for
more than 50 years.
On Oct. 28, 1946, in South Bend, she was
united in marriage to Eddie B. Driver Sr., who survives.
Addie had a love of plants and was happy
when working in her yard. She also enjoyed playing lottery and
buying "scratch off" tickets, but spending time with
her family was most important to her. She was a very caring and
giving person and would go out of her way to make sure that
someone was cared for or received something they needed. She will
be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Other surviving family members are six
daughters, Francine (John) Williams of South Bend, Judy
Driver, Indianapolis, Ind., Ruthie Driver, Atlanta, Ga., Nancy
Driver, South Bend, Gail (Tyree) Dickerson, Indianapolis,
and Vickie Driver of South Bend; two sons, Eddie (Helen) Driver
Jr. and Jack Driver of Portage, Mich.; 21 grandchildren and 12
great-grandchildren; two sisters, Dorothy Powell,
Indianapolis, and Christina Sutherland of South Bend; a
brother, Louis Stennis of Niles, Mich.; an aunt, Helen Woodard
of South Bend; along with numerous other relatives and friends.
Addie was preceded in death by both parents,
and by a son, Dwight (DeDe) Driver.
The funeral ceremony for Addie Driver will
be at noon Saturday, Feb. 15, with visitation one hour before.
Both the visitation and funeral will be held in the Cobb Funeral
Home, South Bend Chapel, 2525 S. Michigan St.
