Carion Gail Ridley

Carion Gail (Greene) Ridley, age 70, left this life to join her family in Heaven on December 22, 2018. She was the center of Steve’s life for 33 plus years. She loved the Lord and her family with all her heart. When Neena was with her grandchildren, you could see the gleam of happiness in her eyes as she watched their every move. Her hobbies were her family and hard work. She could not be idol for long. She was always working at something and enjoyed every moment of whatever she may be doing. She took great pride in her work and enjoyed working for people keeping their homes in order. She never had the first complaint about a job well done and made many lifelong friends along the way. She will be sadly missed and loved by all who knew her. She is survived by husband, Steve of 33 plus years, her two sons, Chris (Libby) Pridmore, Craig Pridmore; sister, Paula (Rex) Rogers; brother, Doug (Jo) Greene. Grandchildren; Alex and Caroline; Taylor, Sierra and Kileena. Nephews and nieces whom she absolutely adored. Many friends she stayed in touch with almost daily. The family would like to thank Blount Memorial hospital and the entire staff of doctors and nurses that attended to the care and comfort given Carion during her stay there. A special thank you to Palliative Care for making sure she was well cared for during her final hours. Family will receive friends from 5:00 until 7:00 PM, Wednesday, January 2, 2019 at Smith Trinity Chapel. Memorial service will follow at 7:00 PM with Rev. Rex Rogers and Rev.
