Edrie L. Caughron Simpson Holder, 90, passed away peacefully and entered into eternal life Friday, October 16, 2020.
Edrie was born and raised in Newport, Tenn. She was preceded in death by her parents, William Edgar Holder and Gladys P. Buckner Holder, and was the last surviving sibling of seven children. Her brothers, William E. Holder, James M. Linderman and John W. Rompinen, and sisters Fannie Holder Smith Starnes, Katherine Holder Sexton and Priscilla Holder Porelli also preceded her in death.
She had four children, Jackie S. Caughron Shannon, the late Gary S. Caughron, April D. Caughron Dugas and Mark A. Butler; as well as six grandchildren, Adam, Shannon, Bridget (Shannon) Rose, the late Gabrielle M. Bruno and Gary S. Caughron Jr.; also five great-grandchildren; and a considerable number of nieces and nephews. Edrie's extended family members included a wealth of dear friends, especially Dreamia Webb and the late Reva Dean Webb Bryant.
Originally born in Tennessee, she later moved to southwestern Pennsylvania with her daughter, April Dugas and son-in-law Louis Dugas, and resided there in her final years.
Edrie was employed as a nurse's aide in Akron, Ohio. She was an exceptional seamstress, ambitious gardener, and enjoyed playing solitaire to keep her mind active and sharp. She also loved bluegrass gospel music.
Edrie was a caring, kind and humble woman, who was known for making us laugh, smile and feel at home. She had a generous heart, quiet strength, independent attitude and beautiful smile that could light up a room.
Edrie will be forever loved and missed.
"This isn't goodbye, I'll see you later."
May she rest in eternal Heavenly peace with her Lord Jesus Christ.
