Edith Yvonne Bonifay Huggins

September 17, 2018

Edith Yvonne Bonifay Huggins was born July 23, 1925 in Pensacola, FL. She flew away home to Heaven on September 13, 2018, into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She was the best wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, and friend one could hope for. She was dearly loved by all who knew her. Her love, hospitality, and laugh were contagious, and she was the life of the party. She taught us by example how to live a Godly life, and prayed for everyone in the family and her friends daily.

Edith was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, John F. Huggins; her parents, Clinton and Kathryn Bonifay; her sisters, Anita Creary and Elaine Hudson; her two sons, John D. and Stephen F. Huggins.

She is survived by her loving daughters, Sandra Huggins, Kathryn (Al) Taylor, Elaine (Ken) Mason; her grandchildren, Nancy Peters, Stephen (Kathryn) Huggins, John (Mary) Huggins, Phadrhea (Chuck) Lapierre, Jacob (Chelle) Mason, Adam Mason, Jennifer (C.D.) Corbin, Tara Taylor, Joshua (Sarah) Mason; and many, many great and great-great grandchildren.

We could not have asked for better care for Edith than was given by her daughters Sandra, Kathy, and Elaine, and granddaughter Nancy. Special thanks to Erica,Ginger, and Maria of Regency Hospice, who loved Edith and her family and comforted the sisters in her final days.

A memorial service was held at Faith Chapel North Funeral Home in Cantonment, FL on Monday, September 17, 2018, with Pastor Jeff Howard officiating.

Flowers are welcome as are donations to Regency Hospice and Heritage Baptist Church in Cantonment, FL.
