Eddie Neubecker b. May 16, 1936 d. May 16, 2014 (78th birthday) Graduate of Burden High School 1958 Charles Edward Eddie Neubecker (CE) passed away suddenly on May 16, 2014, his 78th birthday. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Julie Anthony, in 2006. CE leaves his wife, Jeannine (Lampson) Neubecker of 55 years; children, David and Mark (Diane); grandchildren, Anna-Maria Wright (Anthony), Alex Neubecker, Jennie Johnson, and David Anthony (Lara); great grandchildren Brayden Wright, Abbey Johnson and Kelly Crews. CE was the son of Dale Neubecker and Elvira Stiles Neubecker, and both preceded him in death. He was born in Grenola, KS in Elk Co. He attended a one-room country school and later attended school in town where he graduated from Grenola High School in 1954. He attended his 60th high school reunion on May 10. He received his BS degree in Science from Pittsburg State University, and a Masters from Ole Miss in Biology, Chemistry and Geology. When he retired in 1998, he had been teaching science to Junior High Students for 40 years. He taught in the Turner, Emporia, and Shawnee Mission school districts. Most years were at Indian Creek and Mission Valley. CE was a much loved teacher and loved the students in return. He was a life member of NEA. His rural upbringing kept him interested in hunting, fishing, and the farm his whole life. The people in Grenola and the town were always special to him. He and his wife, Jeannine, traveled the world together, sometimes with children and grandchildren and other times leading groups to Europe. Spring Breaks meant forming a SM teacher trip to Europe. CE had many interests: genealogy, antiques, auctions, having weekly breakfasts with former colleagues, and following all the activities of his children and grandchildren. He visited places where his family ancestors came from in Germany several times. A Celebration of Life service will be Friday, May 23 at 5 PM at the Porter Funeral Home, 8535 Monrovia, Lenexa, KS with a visitation following until 7:00 PM. A Funeral Mass will take place Saturday at the St. Marys Church, Moline, KS. Burial will follow in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery South of Moline.
