Eddie passed away peacefully at home on April 30th, 2024 surrounded by family. A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, Eddie was known by all who knew him for his infectious sense of humor and ability to light up a room with his dry, witty jokes. An avid naturalist, Eddie was born and raised in the Shoreline area, calling Edmonds his home for the past 36 years.
Eddie’s professional career was nothing short of impressive, retiring from the Shoreline School District after 40 years, 36 of which were spent as the Grounds Foreman. Dedicated to his wife and three children, Eddie loved annual family vacations gathered together at Ocean Shores, WA. Equally, some of his favorite memories were made playing guitar and golfing with his three best friends, David, Jack and Scott, all originally of Virginia.
Eddie’s life was devoted to his family and friends, all of whom cared for and loved Eddie deeply. Eddie is survived by his wife, Denise, his siblings Les Ruthford (Tori), Rita Bartlett (Dennis), brother-in-law Cecil Jackson; his three children Breann Tomulty, Emily Albright (James), and Andrew Ruthford; his three precious grandchildren Ellie Albright, Julian Albright, and Lincoln Albright.
Eddie will be deeply missed by all those who knew him.
