EAST RIDGE, TN — The East Ridge community is grieving the profound loss of Leah Brundidge, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, whose recent passing has left a lasting ache in the hearts of all who knew her. Leah’s life was a testament to compassion, quiet strength, and unwavering devotion to those she held dear.
Affectionately known as “Lady Di” by her colleagues and “Mamaw” to her grandchildren, Leah was a woman who lived with purpose and gave from the heart. Whether through her work, her faith, or her role as the anchor of her family, she touched lives in ways that will never be forgotten.
Leah dedicated her life to lifting up others. She approached every challenge with grace, and every person with kindness. To her children and grandchildren, she was a steady source of love and wisdom. To her friends and neighbors, she was a helping hand, a listening ear, and a woman of deep integrity and character.
“She made every holiday brighter, every meal warmer, and every hard moment just a little easier,” one family member shared. “She loved fiercely, prayed often, and never turned anyone away.”
Leah’s passing has been met with an outpouring of grief, but also a flood of beautiful memories—of laughter around kitchen tables, gentle advice shared on front porches, and her unwavering ability to show up when it mattered most. Her life was a living example of selflessness, and her spirit lives on in the many lives she touched.
A celebration of life will be planned to honor Leah’s memory, where family and friends will gather to share stories, offer prayers, and remember the extraordinary woman who meant so much to so many. Details will be shared with the community in the days to come.
During this time of mourning, the Brundidge family invites those who knew Leah to reflect on the impact she made—through her faith, her friendship, and her fierce devotion to family. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages acts of kindness in Leah’s name, continuing her legacy of love and service.
Leah Brundidge’s light will never fade. Though she may no longer walk beside us, her spirit remains—a guiding force, a cherished memory, and a symbol of everything good and gracious in this world.
Rest in peace, “Mamaw.” You are missed, loved, and remembered always.
