Eldridge, Mary Lee nee Aubrey
May 20, 1946 - March 13, 2018
Age: 71 years 9 months 21 days

Father: Norman Aubrey
Mother: Ruth Aubrey nee Freeland
Spouse: Clayton "Chum" Eldridge

Mrs. Mary Lee Eldridge, of Cheboygan passed away at the age of 71 years 9 months 21 days on Tuesday, March 13, 2018, at McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey.

Mary Lee Aubrey, the daughter of Norman and Ruth (Freeland) Aubrey, was born in Petoskey on May 20, 1946, and raised in Onaway.

On December 12, 1964, Mary and Clayton "Chum" Eldridge were united in marriage and made their home in Cheboygan.

A lifelong resident of Northern Michigan, Mary worked for many years distributing the Detroit News, Free Press, and several other newspapers.

Although she worked outside of the home Mary's priority was being a loving wife and nurturing mother. She worked hard to make a home that was warm and loving.

Kind and motherly, Mary opened her heart and her home to help others. Over the years, she took in many young people who were troubled and having difficulties in their lives.

Strong in her faith, Mary was a longtime member of the Community of Christ Church in Cheboygan. She volunteered often at the church, helping with clothing give-aways and always working the church food booth at the Cheboygan County Fair each summer.

Politically active, Mary was a member of the Cheboygan County Democratic Party and served as the vice-chair for several years.

Always pleased with a good find or a bargain, Mary enjoyed thrift store shopping and collecting antiques.

She loved hunting for rocks to put in the rock gardens around her home and even had her grandchildren on the look-out for beautiful rocks.

Mary had a special place in her heart for animals and was especially fond of dogs.

Mary was a good Christian woman who loved her family dearly. She adored her grandchildren and enjoyed every minute she spent with them. Charitable and kind, she served her church, friends, and neighbors and helped those who were less fortunate. Her gentle loving spirit will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Mrs. Eldridge is survived by:
…three sons,
……Scott (Sheryl) of Nashville,
……Mark (Roxanna Tolar) of Cheboygan, and
……Jason (Kathy) of Cheboygan;
…six grandchildren she adored,
……Christopher (Rachel), Cameron, Casey,
……Cathryn, Jonathan, and Gwendolyn;
…as well as her brother,
……Raymond (Jane) Aubrey of Alpena.

She was preceded in death by:

……Chum Eldridge, in 2005;
…her brothers,
……George and Norman "Bub" Aubrey; and
…her sister, Betty Domke.
