Belinda Young

Age - 69

December 10, 2023

Belinda Gail Young, of Huntsville, Alabama, passed away peacefully on December 7, 2023, at the age of 69. Born on February 23, 1954, in North Carolina, Belinda was a beacon of kindness and warmth to all who knew her. Belinda moved to Huntsville, where she quickly became a beloved member of the community. For many years, she served as the manager of the Thirsty Turtle, a local gathering place that benefited greatly from her friendly demeanor and gentle spirit. Her laughter and welcoming nature turned first-time guests into regulars and colleagues into lifelong friends. Despite her North Carolina roots, Belinda was an avid Auburn fan, her passion for the team only rivaled by her love for the beach. She cherished her trips to Gulf Shores, where she found joy in the sun, the sand, and the soothing rhythm of the waves. These simple pleasures were the backdrop to a life lived with an open heart and an enduring smile. Belinda was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Timothy Young, whose memory she held close to her heart. Her love for Timothy was a testament to the deep bonds of companionship and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of loss. The couple shared many happy years together, united by love, laughter, and their shared enthusiasm for Alabama sports. She is survived by her close friends, Harold and Michelle Motter, who were more like siblings to her. Their unwavering support and shared memories are a comfort to all as they remember Belinda's boundless generosity and friendship. Her fur baby, Ziggy the miniature poodle, also survives her. Ziggy was a source of constant joy and companionship for Belinda, and her care for him reflected the immense capacity for love that she carried within her. Words such as friendly and gentle only begin to describe Belinda. Her presence was a gift to those who had the pleasure of knowing her, and her impact on the community was profound. She approached life with an open heart, always ready with a kind word or a helping hand, embodying the very essence of southern hospitality. The void left by Belinda's passing will be deeply felt by her friends, family, and all who had the privilege of crossing paths with her. Her spirit, however, will continue to inspire and guide those she loved. As the sun sets over the shores of Gulf Shores, we imagine her at peace, her laughter carried on the breeze, reminding us to cherish the beauty in every moment. Belinda Gail Young's life was a testament to the power of friendship, the strength of community, and the enduring nature of love. As we bid her farewell, we take solace in the memories we shared and the knowledge that her legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched. Belinda will be deeply missed, but her light will continue to shine brightly, guiding us through the days ahead. There will be a gathering at Belinda's home on December 16, 2023 from 4:30 PM until 10 PM to celebrate her life and memories. To to the family or in memory of Belinda Young, pleaseShow more

Edith Howgate

Age - 94

December 9, 2023

"Edith Richardson Howgate of Huntsville, Alabama passed away on November 26, 2023 at the age of 94. She was born in Athens, Alabama, the eldest of eight, to John B. and Cora Richardson, and grew up in the cotton fields and creeks around East Limestone, where she caught crawdads and made mischief and lifelong friends. She graduated from East Limestone High School and worked as a florist, dress seller, and grocery store cashier while raising her two daughters as a young widow. She met her second husband and love of her life, David Howgate, in the check-out line where she worked, when he kept coming through her line to buy groceries. Over the next 60 years together they found joy, endured sorrows, and lived long enough that only love remained. She was best known as Mar to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to whom she was devoted, even if she had strange ways of showing it. She was a mix of honey and vinegar, with a biting wit that could sting as much as it made you laugh. She liked to fuss, but didn't like to be fussed over, and she worried too much about everyone and everything. She loved dirty jokes and old gospel music, which she sang daily even as her memory faded. Born during The Great Depression, she knew how to make something from nothing, creating beauty wherever she was. She tried her best to make magic during the tough times. "Are you hungry?" she'd ask as soon as you walked through the door, for filling bellies was her way of showing love. And as you'd left, she'd urge you to "Take care of yourself," which is what she'd want us all to do. Hopefully with no more worries or work, her soul's at rest. She was preceded in death by her parents, four brothers Buddy, Wayne, John David, and Joe, and daughters Beverly Rutledge, Edie Wolfe, and Erika Howgate. Survivors include her husband, Dr. David Howgate, her son-in-law Daniel Rutledge, her grandchildren, Sean Wolfe and his wife, Jennifer, Michael Wolfe and his wife, Kelley, Amanda Whisenant and her husband, Charles, Erin Ehsani and her husband Salvatore Stolfo, David Rutledge, Mackenzie McKannan Rufer and her husband Josh Rufer; her sisters Charlotte Rudd, Willodean Benge, and Diane Powers, six great-grandchildren, and many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, December 3, 2023 at 2 PM at Copeland Church in Athens, Alabama. Visitation will be from 1 PM until 2 PM at the church. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to Copeland Church, where she was a lifelong member, or to the Alzheimer's Association. The family would like to thank Caring Strategies and her long-time caregiver, Jo Njubigbo, who provided loving and dignified care to the end. "Show more

Age - 92

December 8, 2023

ObituaryI have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. In the early afternoon hours of December 6th, Cecil Pigg, 92, of Harvest, completed his long and hard fought race on this earth. He never relinquished his faith, no matter the struggles he faced. He passed away peacefully in his daughter's home following a brief illness. Cecil lost his mother and father at age 9 and he and his siblings were raised by his grandparents. He worked hard grueling days in the cotton fields of north Madison County and tobacco fields of southern Tennessee. He was taught many life lessons by his loving grandfather, Rufus "Pap" Satterfield. At age of 18, Cecil went to live with his beloved Uncle Bill Pigg and his wife Maybelle. When he was 19, he joined the US Navy and served his country proudly during the Korean conflict from 1950 until 1954 aboard the USS Norton Sound. He returned to the Harvest community and married his love, Elizabeth Jackson. Cecil worked for Genesco for 34 years and then worked another 16 years for Walmart before becoming disabled due to a car wreck. Not willing to give up, he built himself back up and went back to work part time at Genesco before finally retiring in 2013. He loved gardening, prowling in the woods and most anything outdoors. Cecil was a storyteller and writer on days that were too cold to get out. From the great Northern Lights to Pearl Harbor to the backwoods of the Tennessee hills, he had seen much and had plenty to tell and write about. Cecil was preceded in death by his wife of 67 years, Elizabeth Pigg; parents, Lonnie and Rachel Pigg; beloved grandson, Justin Yarbrough; one great-grandson, Tucker William Yarbrough; brother, Gene Travis; and sister, Lucy Jackson.
