Edna Alexander Price, name meaning, "rejuvenation, delight", was a provider, care giver, hard worker, travel enthusiast, a friend to all who let her, and most importantly a mother, passed away suddenly on Monday, September 27th at the age of 73.
Public viewing will be Sunday, October 3rd from 1:00 PM until 8:00 PM, at Robert Massie Funeral Home. Funeral Services will be at 10:00 AM, Monday, October 4th, at Robert Massie Riverside Chapel. Burial will follow at Lawnhaven Cemetery under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home.
Edna was born and raised in Longview, Texas to Stephen, and Juanita Alexander on August 17th, 1948. She had two brothers, James Smith, (oldest), and Ardas Glenn Alexander, (youngest).
Early years:
Edna had many friends in Longview. But one of her closest friends, (Mary Alice Ojo Simon), became her sister. Mary had a little brother, (Benny), and a little sister, (Kathy), and let us not forget about Mr. and Mrs. Simon, (their parents). Edna was adopted by them all. Edna's family and new extended family soon became one. The Simons are still apart of our family today.
Edna was a graduate of segregated Mary C. Womack High School in 1966, where she was a cheerleader and honors student. Edna then moved to Denton, Texas to attend the University of North Texas. While at the University of North Texas she became part of the first black sorority on campus, Delta Sigma Theta. While attending the University of North Texas, Edna began working for GTE as a switch board operator in 1968. This would, unknowingly, start her career in telecommunications that would last well over 30 years. It was in Edna's early GTE days in Denton where she would meet another dear friend and sister, Pat Clay.
Edna was married to Russell Price and had a son, (Stephen Price). They divorced shortly after, and she moved to Baytown, Texas in 1974. It was in Baytown that Edna convinced her mother to move in with her. Juanita would live with Edna under her care till her last days in the year 2000, but I digress. She lived in Baytown with her mother and son till she transferred with GTE to San Angelo in 1979.
Edna got remarried to Melvin Robinson in 1983 and was blessed with a stepson, (Marcus Robinson). Even though they divorced, Edna's son still considers them father and brother till this very day.
Edna was preceded in death by her father and mother, (Stephen and Juanita Alexander), brother, (James Smith) and nephew, (Ardas Glenn Alexander Jr.).
Edna is survived by her brother and sister in law, (Ardas and Alice Alexander), her son and daughter in law, (Stephen and Jessica Price), her niece, (Felisha Alexander Bates and her husband Chris Bates), her nephew, (Jarvis Alexander), and her grandchildren, (Caleb Price, McKayla Price, Colby Price, Robert Martin and Jesse Scott).
Any donations, gifts, or flowers can be sent or dropped off at Fresh Start of San Angelo, 110 S. Taylor
