Aida Audia Obituary

Aida Audia
Edwardsville - It is with profound sadness my wife and best friend of 45 years, Aida, entered into eternal rest on January 3, 2025.
She was born Aida Mercedes Audia Lawson on January 9, 1954 to Dr. Marino Audia Lopolito and Frances Lawson Audia, who preceded her in death.
She is survived by her husband, Jeff Topal, and her beloved children, Alex Topal, Alexandra (Tyner) Topal, and Marino (Amber) Topal. Her beloved grandchildren, Brandon Seper, Sierra (Ryan) Seper; her sisters, Roxie Carmela Audia Lawson and Ana Marina Audia Lawson; nieces and nephews, Steve, Daniella and Ira Michael.
She was preceded in death by her grandson, Kaden Topal, and her grandmother, Carmela Lopolito Audia.
Audia loved people. She believed a stranger is a friend she has not met. She tried to live her life by the golden rule. She will be missed by many.
The following words are not mine but express my sentiment.
To my beautiful princess of my life. Meeting you was fate. Becoming your husband was choice. Falling in love with you was beyond my control. You were and always will be the best thing that ever happened to me. In you I found the love of my life. I love you always and forever.
Love your loving husband,
Jeff Topal H.B.
