Stella Flett Edge

STELLA FLETT EDGE
The Savior, Christ Jesus, led Stella, 62, to Heaven on Sunday, September 07, 2003 after a long and valiant battle against cancer. Stella died at home, 2528 Lawrin Court, Owensboro, KY. And in the last days of her battle, she was cared for by her devoted husband of 41 years, Charles H.(Chuck) Edge and many adopted ''brothers and sisters'' who love the Lord. The family is grateful to Hospice and all those who cared for her at home. Stella was born in Pittenweem, Scotland and reared in Lowestoft, England where she met and married her American Air Force sweetheart in 1962. Shortly after the wedding, Chuck brought Stella home to Owensboro. In the 1960's, she is remembered as the Scottish hostess of ''Breakfast at Gabes'', one of Owensboro's first television programs. She was also a local fashion model, model teacher and fashion show commentator. In the early 70's, she was a Realtor with Home Hunters and in the late 70's she joined Central Bank and Trust(now National City) where she remained until 1995. Since that time, Stella has been with Dart Polymers who stood by her through her lengthy illness. Stella was a baptized member of Walnut Memorial Baptist Church and a dedicated choir member and soloist under the direction of her favorite Music Minister, David Taylor. Over the past 40 years, Stella has been a member of numerous civic, social and Christian organizations. She and Chuck went on the Walk to Emmaus in 1991. Since then they have worked many 'walks' and sponsored many 'pilgrims'. Stella is also survived by her beloved daughter and son-in-law, Melody and Dan Marley and granddaughter, Emma Grace Marley, of Louisville along with several cousins and friends in Great Britain, throughout the United States and Mexico. Stella had a joy for living and a deep abiding Faith in God. Her sincere desire was that all of her friends and family would someday be in Heaven with her. She wants her loved ones to rejoice that she's finally with Jesus. No more tears, no more pain, no more death - only the celebration of the life of a Believer. Visitation will be at Glenn Funeral Home from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Friday, September 12th. Services will be Saturday, September 13th at Walnut Memorial Baptist Church beginning at 9:30 AM. She will be buried at Pleasant Grove Cemetery on Hwy 56 immediately following the service. The family requests expressions of sympathy be given to the Walnut Memorial Music Ministry or The Boulware Mission, Inc.
