Drema Fay Finley
June 29, 1961 ~ July 1, 2016
Drema Fay Finley, age 55, of Madison passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family, on July 1, 2016. She was born June 30, 1961 in Cleveland to Laura Josephine (Thompson) Jones and Harold Wayne Kilgore.
Born in Cleveland and raised in TN, Drema was a true southern belle. She was an honorary member of Victory Lane Assembly of God. Drema worked in customer service at the Madison Wal-Mart for 10 years. She loved baking and being with her grandchildren...and sometimes her children. Drema enjoyed fishing, being barefoot and the outdoors. You could recognize Drema from her smile and her laugh - unless you made her mad, then she would stare you down. She was a fighter.
Drema is survived by her daughter, Amanda (Jacob Denning) Lanning; son, Charles Finley; grandchildren, Deven, Jacob, Cayden, Waylon; sisters, Sheila (Michael) Elliot, Jennifer (Jason) Craighead; her father, Harold Wayne (Ruby) Kilgore brother, Wayne (Carolyn) Kilgore and her sister from another mister, Twila (Dave) McFarland. She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Eugene Finley; and her mother, Laura Josephine Jones; and niece Adrinna Burr.
Friends will be received Tuesday, July 5, 2016 from 4-8 PM at the BEHM FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, 26 River Street, Madison, OH 44057. A Funeral Service will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at the funeral home. Pastor David Bill of Victory Lane Assembly of God in Mentor will officiate.
