Edwin Lisk Everette, age 90, passed away on March 31, 2017. Born in Nash County, NC on January 31, 1927, he was the son of the late Percy Lee Everette, and Ella Belle Green Everette. He was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Jean Satterwhite Everette, his daughter, Rebecca Tolbert Smith, his brothers Beal Green Everette and Kirby Lee Everette, nephew Robert Michael Everette, and niece Nelda Everette. He leaves to cherish his memory, his son Edwin Lisk Everette Jr. and wife Marlene of the Salem Community, NC; daughter Beverly Everette Batton and husband Henry of Hampstead, NC; and Bryan Watson Everette of Nashville, NC. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Kristy Sartin and husband Austin of Burlington, NC; Tracy Everette of Nashville, NC, Joseph Batton of Hampstead, NC; great-grandaughter Alexis Marie Whitney; and his brother Ray Everette and several nieces and nephews. Lisk was owner of E-B Trucking Company in Battleboro, NC. He was a member of Battleboro United Methodist Church, a charter member of Battleboro Fire Department, a member of Sudan Temple and the Rocky Mount Shrine Club, and was a member of the North Carolina Seniors Golf Association. Lisk was also a veteran and served in the US Navy during WWII. Lisk was the portrayal of what his mother use to say, “if you are a good person, everyone knows it; and if you are a bad person everyone knows it.” He always strived to display the “good person” and was a kind and loving husband, father grandfather and great-grandfather.
