CORNING, ARK. -- A quintessential member of the Greatest Generation has passed on to be with her heavenly family. Edith (Gates) Brady of Success, Ark. left this world Wednesday, Sept. 27, 2017, at approximately 6:20 p.m. surrounded by her loving family at her "home on the hill" along the banks of the Current River north of Success, Ark. at the age of 102 years. Born Sept. 4, 1915, to Marsha Susan (Pearce) Gates and William Earl Gates in a field of the Pirtle area near Peach Orchard, Ark., Edith was a single child until the age of 15 when Bill Duane Gates--now of Roanoke, Texas--was born to her parents. When Edith was 10 years of age, the Gates family moved to Detroit, Mich. where she was schooled, graduating from John J. Pershing High School as salutatorian of her class.
