Eddie O. Mcginnis
December 21, 1943 — November 13, 2016
Eddie Opp McGinnis was born on December 21, 1943 to Elmer Cedric and Ollie Christine Stedman McGinnis at Glendale, Arizona. He departed this life of 72 years, 10 months, and 23 days Sunday evening, November 13, 2016 at his home in Glen Elder, Kansas after a courageous battle with cancer.
Eddie grew up in the Glendale, Arizona area and joined the working world at a very early age. He was a hard worker and became an expert carpet layer. While laying carpet was his true forte, he was very proficient at installing other types of floor coverings. No job was too big or too small for him, and having the customer satisfied was everything to him. Often, his work required him to move where the jobs were and he made frequent trips between Arizona and Kansas. He and his family settled in Salina, Kansas about eight years ago and most recently was a contractor for Complete Floor Coverings in Salina. Health forced him to quit in June, 2016 and he and his wife moved to Glen Elder to be near family.
Eddie married Janice Norene Hand on September 15, 1971.
A kind, people loving person, Eddie had a deep for Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and was very willing to share his faith with others. He witnessed to many people over the years and was always there to lend a hand to anyone in need. His funny, upbeat sense of humor will be long remembered.
His parents, and one grandchild Candy Sampson preceded him in death.
Left to mourn his passing and celebrate his life are his wife Janice of the home, children Deborah Bell and husband Doug of Cottonwood, Arizona, Bill Trowbridge of El Dorado, KS, Lance Trowbridge of Arizona, Eddie McGinnis of Salina, Kansas, Missy McGinnis of Glen Elder; one brother Tracy McGinnis and wife Pat of Payson, Arizona; two sisters Sharon Sellers and husband Richard of Prescott, Arizona, Candy Novakovich and husband Bob of Camp Verde, Arizona; 13 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and many friends.
Eddie chose cremation. His ashes will be buried in Cottonwood, Arizona at a later date. Memorials may be given to Solomon Valley Hospice. McDonald-Roberts Funeral Service, Beloit was in charge of arrangements
