Meridian High Wildcats '58: Laura Horton Edwards

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.
Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

Laura Horton Edwards - Autobiography

Mobile, AL

I am a very fortunate person - being blessed from the beginning with wonderful loving parents and three siblings (Linda who lives in Meridian)(John now living in Florida)(Larry regretfully deceased 4/26/07). Now I have a fabulous husband, James, a beautiful daughter, Laura Lee and her husband Chuck, and the greatest grandson in the world, 10 year old Chase. We all live in Mobile. In addition I have a second family living in Meridian, a beautiful step-daughter, Janice and her husband, Doug, and her mother Leola. She has three children (each with a spouse) and four lovely grandchildren. James and I are retired. He was an electrical contractor (working in various part of the U.S.), and I worked with him in the business as estimator/accountant. Our busy lives now revolve around our treasured family and friends. Family, friends and faith, to us, bottom line. That’s what counts. Good life! Great God!
