Edith Deaver, 1914–2007

Edith Deaver, 1914-2007

My grand­moth­er, Edith Deaver (or just grand­ma Deaver) died ear­ly this past Mon­day morn­ing. She had her three daugh­ters near­by and, after liv­ing for a long, healthy life, she suc­cumbed to those 93 years of time her on Earth. She will be missed, but no as much as she missed her hus­band Cicero, who had passed away some 11 years ear­li­er. I like to believe that they are togeth­er again. Born and raised in the moun­tains of North Car­oli­na, she left for the more coastal flat-lands to live most of her life in Hope Mills, NC. She had spent the more recent years in Birm­ing­ham, AL. Though she did not always have a hap­py or easy life, she made the most of it and raised three won­der­ful ladies (my mom and aunts) with my late grand­fa­ther. I remain grate­ful for her, for all that she did for my fam­i­ly through both good and bad times, and that she was tak­en after a long life with­out much suffering.
