By Mary Katherine Stump Hypoluxo Island — Alice Nan Edge, 80, a
long-time resident of Hypoluxo Island in Lantana, passed away
peacefully at her home on June 16 following an extended illness.
Mrs. Edge was a life-long resident of Palm Beach County, having
been born and raised in West Palm Beach, daughter of Wilbur F. and
Lucile Weaver Divine, and graduating from Palm Beach High School in
1945. “She was a committed resident of Hypoluxo,” said Mayor David
Stewart. “She was the type of person to call and let you know when
she saw good things happen in her area, and when she saw things she
wasn’t a fan of.” In 1956 Mrs. Edge married Donald Edge at Holy
Trinity Episcopal Church, and spent the following years as a
devoted wife and loving mother, her No. 1 priority. She later
worked as the office manager for her husband’s business, Edge Group
Architects. Mr. Edge was one of two chief architects in the 1972
redesign of the West Palm Beach courthouse. Mrs. Edge was preceded
in death by her parents; and brother, Wilbur F., IV “Bud” Divine.
She is survived by her husband of 53 years, Donald R. Edge; three
children, Carol Edge, Karl Edge, and Nancy Davis (Chris); four
grandchildren; in-laws, Audrey Divine, Ruth Edge, Tom and Margie
Edge; several nieces and nephews; and many loving and caring
friends. A memorial service was held on June 26 at Holy Trinity
Episcopal Church in West Palm Beach. In lieu of flowers, donations
may be made in memory of Alice Nan Edge to a hospice or charity of
your choice.
