Neva Anne Conner was born August 7, 1939 to her parents, Elmer and Mattie Creek in Lea Day. Neva passed away Sunday, March 15, 2026, with her family and friends by her bedside. She quietly went to sleep after a courageous battle with illness. Sleep is what Jesus likened death to in John 11:11-13 when his friend Lazarus had died.
Neva was a very loving person who always put family and friends ahead of herself. She showed the self-sacrificing love Jesus describes at John 13:34. It was important to Neva to take care of others. She had a fantastic business mind and with her dear husband Aubrey they successfully ran several businesses over the years. The first one started in 1963 in Ballinger, called Conner Bumper Works. Then Conner Steel and later ALNC in San Angelo. Other business followed with Neva always managing the financial part of the business.
Neva was preceded in death by her loving parents, Elmer and Mattie Creek, 7 brothers, Frank Creek, Noland Creek, J.D. Creek, Herman Creek, Thurman Creek, Luther Creek and Colie Creek, her two dear sons, Steve Conner in 2013 and Butch Conner in 2023.
Neva is survived by her devoted husband and friend, Aubrey Conner; her loving daughter, Carolyn Wilhite and husband Joe; daughter-in-law, Sonya Conner; 6 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren and a brother, Paul Creek.
Neva and Aubrey had a very enjoyable time together. They loved to travel and go on fishing trips with many lifelong friends. She also loved the time her and their great granddaughter, Camryn, spent working beautiful puzzles together.
Neva was a woman of deep genuine faith. She was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on March 1, 1969. She loved to read God's Word the Bible and had a beep love for her God, Jehovah. Neva loved telling others about her loving God and the bright future he promises. This includes the promise of the resurrection mentioned in the Bible at John 5:28 &29 and Acts 24:15.
Neva enjoyed life and believed in the Bible's promise of everlasting life on a paradise earth. One of her favorite scriptures was Revelation 21:3 & 4 where we read the future promise of ne death, mourning of pain. She wanted all her dear friends and family to know how much she loved them and hoped she would see them welcoming her back when she is resurrected into Jehovah's promised new world that his son Jesus will soon bring about as mentioned at Matthew 5:5, and Psalm 37:29
Neva will certainly be missed by numerous family and friends whose hearts she so deeply touched. Her memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 2021 Pulliam St., San Angelo, Texas 76905, on April 4m 226 at 1:30 PM.
