Retired Cherokee DOM dies at 82

Herman Edge, longtime director of missions (DOM) for Cherokee Baptist Association, died June 19. He was 82.

Before Edge came to Cherokee Association in 1979, he had served as DOM for Lookout Mountain Baptist Association for six years. He retired from Cherokee Association in 2000 after 21 years of service.

He is survived by his wife, Margaret; his daughter, Delilah; and one grandson.

“I join other Alabama Baptists in mourning the passing of associational missionary Herman Edge,” said Rick Lance, executive director of the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions. “He stood tall among us during his ministry. We are remembering his wife of 62 years as she celebrates his life with their family.” (TAB)
