Eddie Lou of Lockhart, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, March 26, 2023 at the age of 96. She was born the 5th of 8 children in Coffee County, AL to Robert Griel and Effie McCall Vinson.

She was raised between Headland and Goodman, AL, attending school at both Weeks Chapel and Goodman High School. With a love for dancing and many stories of her parents using their ration stamps to purchase extra shoes for her when she danced holes in her other ones, her favorite dances and ones she became professional at were The Charleston and The Jitter Bug.

As a lifelong seamstress both in the home and as a career, She worked many many years at Franklin Ferguson in Florala, AL. Her love for cooking, canning, flowers, crafts, animals, and people was very evident by the amount of LOVE that was returned to her by family and friends alike. If you never got to experience her chicken -n- dumplings, chili or cathead biscuits then you truly missed a treat. And to think that just a few short weeks ago she asked for a peanut butter & Jelly sandwich, a banana sandwich, and scrambled eggs.
