Edith was born January 13, 1946 in Madison, Georgia, to the late Mr. Hardy Craig and Ms. Laverne Bryant. She was a force of nature, spicy, spirited, and full of heart. She loved her family above all else, even if her love came with a little tough love and a whole lot of honesty. She had a gift for keeping everyone in line, always making sure her people stayed strong and together. Edith found joy in the simple things: a quiet afternoon with her crochet, the satisfaction of a well-tended garden, a good day fishing, or a lovingly cooked meal shared around the table. She never shied away from a good argument, often with a twinkle in her eye, and she had a soft spot for dogs that betrayed her tough exterior. Fiercely loyal and deeply loving in her own unforgettable way, Edith leaves behind a legacy of strength, laughter, and devotion.
In addition to her parents she is predeceased by her loving husband, of 32 Years, Jimmy Outzs; stepfather, LD Woodall; daughter, Patrice Kelly; brother, Pat Craig; and her fur baby, Chi Chi.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Charlda (Cissy) White; son, Wayne Porter; stepson, Bryan Outzs; brothers, Thurmon (Cindy) Craig, Weymon Craig; sister-in-law, Betty Craig; grandchildren, Nikki Webster, Craig Porter, Veronica Riner, Jessi Jo Porter, Demi Porter, Brandi Porter; many great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family.
