Pamela A Aridge

Pamela A. Aridge passed away on October 23, 2025. She was surrounded by her loving children and siblings. She was born on October 26, 1952, in Toledo, Ohio.

She was employed at Tyson Corporation for the past eleven years. She dedicated over thirty years to McDonald’s Corporation, serving as a store manager and first assistant. Her role often took her to various cities and states, where she was recognized for her leadership and adaptability.

In her early years, she accepted Christ and began serving at her home church, Pinewood Tabernacle, where she directed the Sunshine Band. She also held leadership roles as a devotional leader and President of the Pastor’s Aid Committee. Her spiritual journey continued after relocating to Elyria, Ohio, where she remained active in faith and fellowship.

Affectionately known as Ms. Pam, she was adored by supervisors and coworkers alike for her kind heart and meticulous attention to detail. Her compassion touched everyone around her, and she always wore a warm smile—even in the face of adversity. She embodied grace and sophistication, with a steadfast belief in the value of hard work. A passionate reader and true fashionista, she found joy in shopping and cherished every moment spent with her family.

She is lovingly survived by her devoted children, who carry forward her legacy with grace and strength, Stacey Martin and Augustus Aridge III (Marianne); her surviving ex-spouse, Augustus Aridge Jr.; a sister-in-law, Della Aridge; grandchildren: Stacia Crosby, Anthony Martin, Julian Aridge, Iyanna Alves, Laila Minnich, Alena Aridge, Marissa and Mariah Roelle; brothers and sisters: Elder Terry Colbert, Barbara Brooks, Robert Wilson II (Connie), Jo Anna Clark (Curtis), David Wilson (Nancy), and Mary F. Wilson; a host of nieces and nephews, God children and other family and friends. She was preceded in death by parents Robert and Mary Wilson, Alvin Easley, son-in-law Anthony G. Martin and sister-in-law Dawn M. Colbert.
