Mrs. Donna Julianne Ridings' Obituary
Julie Ridings, 66, of Springfield, passed away peacefully on June 24, 2016. She was born September 16, 1949 to the late William M. and Laverne Smith.
She is survived by her devoted and loving husband, David Ridings of 19 years; son, Frank Wright; daughter, Mandy Wright (Patti Murphey); three grandchildren, Hailey Wright, Amber Wright, and Will Wright; sisters, Jeanie Graham (Les) and Joan Bosley (Steve); and best friend Joni Hix; amongst countless family, friends, and strangers, whose lives were profoundly changed due to her kindness. She had the most tender, compassionate, generous, and loving heart, and most people felt that by just being in her presence. Although she was faced with countless health problems, both physically and mentally, for many many years, she never gave up hope. She fought like a warrior until the very end.
Eternal rest grant unto them, o Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Visitation will be Monday, June 27, 2016 from 4-8pm and on Tuesday from 1-2pm. A celebration of her life will follow directly at 2:00pm. All in the chapel at Spring hill Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Alive Hospice, 1710 Patterson Street, Nashville, TN 37203
