Once out of the service, the newlyweds settled in Atlanta and
Ed began his career in the "chicken business.” Starting out at
Vantress Farms, Inc. his early days were full of adventure and
as God blessed the young couple with three daughters, Andrea
Louise Lindorme, Patricia Sue Lindorme and Barbara Ann Lin-
dorme, they chose Chamblee as the place to raise their children
through high school (with horses in the back yard of course).
While Ed's career led him into sales, traveling large territo
ries selling veterinary pharmaceuticals to the poultry industry,
the family’s pursuits were often up in Banks County where they
would spend summers “at the ranch.” Tire whole family rode
horses and while Dad was building fences and working the cows,
the kids would be tearing down beaver dams and picking black
berries.
As the children grew and went to college, Bobbie and Ed re
tired, building their retirement home and current residence at 980
Bennett Road, Homer, Ga. 30547. A strong evangelist at heart,
Ed’s sunset for decades were full of working his cows and telling
people about his lord and savior Jesus Christ. Folks at the cattle
auction in Franklin County knew him as a “bright spot.” Full of
laughs and always the life of the party, if you didn’t have a trailer,
he’d loan you his. As a salesman, he was bold with his testimo
ny. Each year when he received the company’s top salesman of
the year award, Ed would change his acceptance speech into “an
opportunity to share the gospel.” He always said, those awards
belong to Jesus because long ago, he gave his business over to
the Lord.
A descendant of Charles Wesley, Ed’s heart and life song was
spent as a member of the Baptist community. A member of Mays-
ville Baptist Church for many years, most folks know Bobbie and
Ed as the “Greeters at the Front Door." Ed and Bobbie are easy to
spot. They were always there and Ed, “why, he’s the man with the
cowboy hat on!" Greeting, Dad said, is about being faithful. On
Wednesdays Ed was faithful to be at the men’s refuge for some
time with the men, each year discussing the plans for “this year's
game dinner.” He loves his church community and they love him.
Ed passed peacefully in his home around sunset Sunday, Janu
ary 5th. Ed Lindorme, you are a very loved man by all who know
you well. He was a friend and a good Christian, giving and for
giving. To tell a man's character, there can be no greater tribute.
In addition to his wife and daughters, Ed is also survived by
his brother, Wade Lindorme, Gainesville; grandchildren, Trev
or, Chelsea and Mackenzie Wild; and great-grandchild, Declan
Wild.
