MATHEWS, EDITH (GRANNY) - age 93 of Rutledge went to be with her Lord on December 14, 2011, at Ridgeview Terrace Nursing home. She was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Nola Mathews. Edith was a devoted friend to everyone she met and was well known for many years of working on her farm and in many restaurants throughout Rutledge and White Pine.

The family would like to thank Bill Churchwell for the love and care he gave her for many years, along with all the members of Blue Springs Baptist Church.
