Higgins, Eda Lou, 68 of Mullica Hill, NJ died Saturday, September 10, 2016 surrounded by her loving family.  

Born in Providence, RI, Eda Lou attended East Greenwich High School in Rhode Island, graduating with the class of 1966.  She later attended and graduated from the Rhode Island Hospital School of Nursing in 1969.  She loved nursing and worked as a nurse for the majority of her career before retiring in 2015.  In her retirement, Eda Lou loved watching college Basketball (go Nova!) Football (We Are!) and Golf (where she had a soft spot for Phil Mickelson).  She was an avid bird watcher who made sure her birds were fed and happy year round for her grandkids to see.  Eda Lou enjoyed many glasses of wine by the fire and sharing late summer sunsets with her family in the backyard.  Eda Lou was an active member of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and loved singing in the choir.

Eda Lou was the loving mother of three sons, Matthew (Andrea), Mark (Noelle) and Andrew Bramblett.  She was the adored grandmother to Tyler, Austin, Addison and Owen.
