Edith Aldridge, a woman of steadfast faith and humble spirit, entered into eternal rest on June 13th, 2025, in Ft. Wayne, IN. Born on April 25th, 1939, in Whitleyville, TN, Edith devoted her life to walking closely with God and nurturing her family with love and compassion.
Her days were enriched by the reading of her Bible, reflecting a deep and abiding connection with her faith. Edith’s creativity shone brightly through her love for arts and crafts; she found joy in coloring and painting, embracing the beauty of creation in every stroke.
Known for her resilience, kindness, and empathy, Edith had a big heart and carried it on her sleeve, touching the lives of all who knew her.

These simple pleasures reflected her desire to connect and share laughter with those she cared about.
Resilient and humble, Edith’s life was a testament to her unwavering faith and the simple joys that enriched her journey. May her memory be a blessing, and may she rest in eternal peace.
