Edith Bradford Ergle

Obituary Date: Saturday, February 3, 2018

Edith Bradford Ergle, age 94, of Gainesville, GA, passed away on Saturday February 3rd, 2018, at Abbey Hospice in Social Circle, GA. Born in Dahlonega, GA on September 9, 1923, she was the daughter of the late Ethel Hice Bradford and Irvin Abner Bradford. She attended elementary school and high school in Dahlonega.  She also attended North Georgia College before moving to Atlanta to work for the Southern Bell Telephone Company.  She met Virgil Herman Ergle at a church dance, and they were married in October 1949. They moved to Decatur, GA where they raised their family.

She was a member of Columbia Drive Baptist in Decatur. Mrs. Ergle retired from DeKalb County Schools. After retirement, she and Herman moved to Gainesville, where they became charter members of Northlake Baptist Church in Murrayville, GA. Mrs. Ergle loved both churches and cherished the friends she made at each.

Mrs. Ergle was predeceased by her husband (Herman), and her seven siblings (Mamie Ferguson, Estelle Bradford, Walter Bradford, Lois Bradford, Floyd Bradford, Dot Lewis, and I. A. Bradford).

She is survived by her daughters Cathy Warr of Madison, GA, Karen Griffin (Jeff) of Flowery Branch, GA, and her sons Ron Ergle (Barbara) of Dacula, GA, Ken Ergle (Lee) of Richmond Hill, GA. She is also survived by her eight grandchildren and eight great grandchildren, as well as extended Bradford and Ergle family members. Mrs. Ergle dearly loved her family and made sure that all of her grandchildren knew how to make her special biscuits.
