In 2013, Pedie endured the loss of her beloved husband, Roger, with whom she shared 54 years of love and companionship. She was also preceded in death by her four brothers and two sisters. Pedie leaves behind cherished memories in the hearts of several nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, cousins, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Paul and Nancy Young, and her special friend, Nancy.
