Pledger Obituary</h1>
Kenneth Alton Pledger of Huntsville, Alabama passed away peacefully
on March 16th at the age of 86. Born on May 13, 1938, in Sipsey,
Alabama, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great
grandfather who will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
Kenneth proudly served in both the United States Air Force and the
West Virginia National Guard. Following his military service, he
built a long and distinguished career in telecommunications for the
U. S. Army at Redstone Arsenal. He worked at the Redstone
Communication Center from 1960 to 1984 in various capacities with
increasing responsibilities. He completed his career as a Management
Information Systems Supervisor for the U. S. Army Missile Command
from 1984 until his retirement in 1995. <br>
<br>
In his retirement, Kenneth found joy in the simple pleasures of
life. He had a passion for gardening, taking great pride in keeping
everything beautiful and well maintained. He loved his dogs, Misty
and Audrey, as well as his grand-dogs, Sheila, Chloe and Charlie. He
cherished his time with his granddaughter, Kari, and especially
enjoyed getting pictures and videos of his great-grandchildren,
Charlie Rose and Milo. His love for his family, both human and
four-legged, was evident in everything he did. <br>
<br>
Kenneth was preceded in death by his parents, Estelle Williams and
Edward Kenneth Pledger, as well as his sisters, Bobby Williams,
Betty Roberts and Billie Melton. <br>

He is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Edris Pledger; his
sons,<b> <font color="#ff0000">Kenneth Lawrence Pledger (Charla

Morton (Jay Morton); and his great-grandchildren, Charlie Rose
Morton and Milo Lee Morton. He is also survived by his uncles,
Malcolm Pledger and Dale Pledger; his aunt, Shirley White; and
numerous nieces and nephews. <br>
<br>
Kenneth's dedication to his family and his work left a lasting
impact on those who knew him. His kindness, strength and unwavering
love for his family will be cherished and remembered always. <br>
