Most often known as “Edie” or “Miss E” throughout her life in both Pelham and Whigham, Georgia, Edith had such a zest for life, and a smile for everyone!
She was an active member and served in the choir at Hand Memorial United Methodist Church in Pelham for nearly 50 years, then continued her worship and activities at Whigham United Methodist Church in Whigham. She owned and operated Cottage Flower Shop in Pelham, Georgia for over twenty-five years, was a member of The Pelham Garden Club, the Pelham Chamber of Commerce, the Southwest Georgia Florists Association, and a past member of the Jr. Woman’s Club of Pelham. She never met a stranger and was beloved by all who knew her. The world has lost a true light here on Earth, but we all know she is shining brightly in Heaven above.
