Roger Ridenhour Obituary
Roger Vann Ridenhour, 69, of New London, passed away Sunday, March 19, 2023, at home.
Roger was born February 17, 1954, in Stanly county to the late Charles Luther Ridenhour and the late Christine Culp Ridenhour.
He was also preceded in death by his wife, Shirley Ridenhour; brother Wayne Ridenhour and brother-in-law Wayne Edwards.

Roger was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He met his loving wife, Shirley, in 1971 and was happily married for 47 years. Roger was an avid fisherman and loved being on the lake, especially Badin Lake. He was known for having won numerous fishing tournaments, for which he has accumulated many trophys. Roger worked for the city of Albemarle as a supervisor for the water and sewer department for 25 years, after-which he retired. He was an exceptional handyman and could fix anything and enjoyed sharing this gift with those in need. Roger will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
