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.
