Ouida Mae Ethridge, 69, of Glen, MS, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Saturday, December 12, 2015, at Magnolia Regional Health Center. She was born in Pisgah, MS on November 22, 1946 to the late Kennie Medley and Vivian Brooks Medley-Miklas. She was a member of North Corinth Baptist Church. Ouida spent her life happily in the service of others. For 22 years she cared for her mother at home. In addition to exhibiting her deep love for her family, Ouida poured her love and time out on others with gestures of compassion and consideration. She created beautiful quilts for infants, which she donated to the Oasis Medical Center, formerly known as Women’s Resource Center. While many may have classified her as a homemaker, Ouida made more than a home, she made her world a better place. Visitation is scheduled from 6-8 PM Tuesday, December 15, 2015 at Magnolia Funeral Home. A celebration of Ouida’s life will be held at 11:00 AM, Wednesday, December 16, 2015 at Corinth National Cemetery, officiated by Bro. Bill Wages. Interment will follow at Corinth National Cemetery. Magnolia Funeral Home is caring for the family.
