It is with heavy heart that we announce the passing of Edda R. Dyson, who peacefully left us on Sunday, December 15, 2024, at the age of 89, surrounded by her family.
Edda’s life was defined by her compassion, generosity, and unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. She lived these values every day, inspiring all who knew her.
Born in New York, Edda was raised with a deep sense of service to others. She spent much of her life as a social worker, later transitioning to a successful career as a local realtor. Whether it was lending a hand to her family, offering support to a friend, or serving her community, Edda approached each act with kindness, grace, and a heart full of love.
Edda was the beloved wife of Alford Dyson Jr. of Groton for more than 60 years. They were true partners and enjoyed traveling together. She was a devoted mother to her daughter, Jenepher Spencer, also of Groton, and her son, Todd Dyson of Arizona, both of whom she supported and guided with unconditional love. As “Mom-Mom” to Chase and Kylie Spencer, Edda’s joy and pride knew no bounds. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
Edda’s legacy extends far beyond her immediate family. Known for her generosity, radiant smile, and boundless positivity, she was a beacon of comfort and encouragement to all who were fortunate to know her. Her life serves as a beautiful example of love in action, leaving a lasting impact on her family, friends, and community.
In celebration of Edda’s extraordinary life, her family invites you to join them from 5:30-8:30 p.m., Friday, December 27, 2024, at the Groton Inn, 128 Main Street, Groton. The evening will be a time to reflect on the joy Edda brought to the world and to honor the many ways she touched the lives of those around her.
Her family looks forward to gathering, sharing memories, celebrating her remarkable life, and carrying forward the legacy she left behind. Edda’s light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her, and her kindness and selflessness will inspire generations to come.
