Edwin Charles Hedgpeth
Obituary
Eddie was born in San Francisco to Ed and Anna Hedgpeth. Eddie spent his childhood in Turlock on a dairy farm. In 1954 the family moved to Corralitos. Eddie graduated from Watsonville in 1957. He attended Cabrillo College and Humboldt State. He worked for the California and U. S. Forestry service afterwards for the Santa Clara Transit System for 30 years. Eddie enjoyed this job very much because of the variety of people he met driving the bus. Eddie loved trees, Model A's and people. He was a member of the San Jose Arbor Society, the Santa Clara Model A Club and the Universalist Unitarian Church in Aptos.
Even though some considered him a non-conformist, he was very kind and interested in many things. Eddie liked talking to people and cared about others.
Eddie leaves behind his brother Roland (Priscilla) and a sister Ann Johnson (Jerry), 3 nieces, a nephew, and 10 great neices and nephews. He will be missed.
A Celebration of life will be held February 18, 2023 at the Universalist Unitarian Church, 6401 Freedom Boulevard, Aptos. A reception will follow at the Padres Clubhouse in Corralitos.
Donations to the Universalist Unitarian Church or Corralitos Padres youth programs can be made in in Eddie's name.
