She has gone to join her husband, Henry Hayward Eddie and daughter, Sherida Ann. Born November 15, 1923 in Malvern, Arkansas, it can be said her life was never boring. From Arkansas to California in her youth, she went to work building ships during WWII, where she met dad and they were married two weeks later and remained so for over 50 years. As a family we moved to Louisiana (dads home state) and later back to California. Mom was in banking in Bakersfield, she never failed to make new friends and raise a few smiles. After retiring, mom and dad moved back to Louisiana, living on the Bayou, Mr. Eddie and Miss Esther were loved and admired by all that knew them, young and old. After dads death in 1994, mom returned to Bakersfield and resumed old friendships. She will be missed and loved forever. She is survived by two children, Cynthia Lynn (Robins) and Darryl Eugene, 5 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
