Mrs. Ledbetter was a graduate of Cherokee County High School and was a resident of Piedmont for over 50 years. She was employed at SCT Yarn most of her adult life, then retired some years ago from TapeCraft. Mrs. Ledbetter was of the Baptist faith and in earlier years taught Sunday School at Tenalla Baptist Church. She enjoyed gardening, Sunday lunches with her family, the laughter of children, and the humor of Steve Harvey on Family Feud. The family was assured by a local UPS driver that she would have a front row seat in heaven one day. So, if you see him, let him know she made it there. Flowers may be sent or memorial contributions may be made to Piedmont Fire Department or Piedmont Rescue Squad. Her children would also like to thank SouthernCare New Beacon Hospice in Gadsden, Barbara Sanders, Wendy Young, and especially Jessica Barnes and her grandson Matthew Ledbetter for the smiles and happiness they gave to her during her last days. She will be forever grateful for your love and kindness.
