Honoring our Matriarch Ms. Edith Louise “Ms. Eat” Bundage On February 26, 1945, George and Laura Mae Cotton were blessed with the birth of Edith Louise Bundage, affectionately known as “Ms. Eat”, in Mexia, TX. She received her formal education at Douglas Elementary and went on to graduate from Dunbar High School. After graduating high school, Edith relocated to Dallas and followed her passion for helping people by becoming a Certified Nurse Assistant, where she served the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex diligently for over 25 years. These years are often Edith accepted Christ at an early age while serving at the Little Zion Church (Mexia, TX). She later found a place to call home in Dallas at Greater Antioch Baptist Church, where she was a faithful member. Edith never wanted to miss church on Sunday. So much so, she would work overnight and get off just in time to make her way to 8am Sunday school. It is safe to say, Ms. Eat loved church. She could often be found dancing in the aisle as she served as one of Greater Antioch’s ushers. Ms. Eat was well loved by all that knew her. Her personality was in a league of its own. Whether it was paying her sister to cook for her or remembering everybody’s birthday, once you met Ms. Eat, you could not help but love her! EDITH, do you know her? On April 24, 2020 a loving mother, caring grandmother and supportive sister heard her name called by the Lord. Ms. Eat transitioned from her earthly home to see the King. Edith was preceded in death by her mother, Laura Mae Cotton, and father, George Cotton. Five sisters: Minnie Culton, Hazel Johnson, Helen Howard, Hannah Henderson and Jetta Williams.
