Edith Lane Darnell – Gate City, VA
On Monday, February 16th 2015, at 3:00 pm, Edith Kate Darnell “Katie” was received into the loving arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ. Katie passed away at the Holston Manor Nursing Home, where she was released for hospice care for illness caused by double pneumonia, blood infection, and severe kidney infection. Katie wanted to go home to live with Jesus.
Katie was the daughter of Wrightley K Lane and Polly Rhoton Lane, both deceased. She was the widow of Robert Glen Darnell and was also preceded in death by two sons, Ronald Keith Darnell and Robert Greggory Darnell, and brother, James Lane.
Katie was a housewife who loved God, church, family and her pet dog Fancy. She was a military wife to Glen for most of their life together, having lived at bases in Georgia, Texas and North Carolina before finally coming home to Gate City, VA. Katie’s church was Refuge of Life Baptist Church in Gate City. Katie’s neighborhood in Gate City was always friendly to her and loved to see her walking her dog when she was able to do so. She leaves behind those friends who will surely miss her sweet smile and gentle ways.
