Edith Adelaide Nunez passed away on Wednesday, April 15, 2020 at the age of 96. She was the cherished wife of the late Roger “Teta” Nunez. Loving mother of Lynn Nunez Gagnon (the late Lynn Paul Gagnon) and the late Kirk Lee Nunez (Georgie). Daughter of the late Joachim “2-2” Nunez Sr. and Odile Nunez. Sister of the late Joachim “4-4” Nunez Jr. (Dorothy Chapman). Proud grandmother of Todd Nunez (Cheri) and Cade Nunez (Chantel). Great grandmother of Kirk Nunez. Also survived and fondly remembered by her “other daughter” and my “other sister” Sonia Nunez Monk (Chris). Edith enjoyed the simple pleasures in life and taught us the importance of family bonds and simplicity. She treasured spending time with her beloved Reggio and Islenos friends and family. Her cooking skills were incredible; her favorite was cooking gumbo for all she loved. Some of her favorite times were spent watching & listening to birds, playing the piano, singing and playing hymns as well as other music and she couldn’t resist a good cup of coffee! She was married to her Prince Charming, “Teta,” and he made sure she knew she was his Princess. Many who knew her only knew her as the quiet Southern Belle who enjoyed “rocking” on her front porch; those who knew her more intimately will remember her for her tough, resilient, “spicy”, sassy, side!! Although Reggio was always her beloved home, the only home that could replace Reggio is where she is now! She is experiencing more than she could have ever dreamed or imagined! The scripture from 2 Corinthians 5:8 certainly applies. “We are confident, I say, & would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.” Excerpt from a devotional - Paul did not just say that “We will be at home.” He said, “......at home with the Lord”. What a heartwarming image knowing she is rejoicing with her loved ones, along with the Lord! 1 Thessalonians 4:13 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope! (That belief and hope is our comfort as we grieve her loss). Special thanks to the entire staff at Forest Manor Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center. They loved my mother tremendously! Many thanks to my adopted sisters, Vana Jackson, Tracy Kondas, and her hairdresser, Diane Johnson. They faithfully helped me with my mom, visited her regularly and loved her dearly. My mother was a fan and supporter of Billy Graham so in lieu of flowers or cards, please consider sending donations to his son, Franklin Graham’s organization whom is presently helping with the COVID-19 Crisis, Samaritan’s Purse Emergency Medicine Fund. This would be most appropriate and timely. A memorial has been set up in her name at www.samaritanspurse.org/donation-items/emergency-medicine; or Samaritan’s Purse, P.O. Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607; 828.262.1980. She will be laid to rest with a private graveside service to be held at St. Bernard Catholic Cemetery, St. Bernard, LA.
