With deepest sympathy for the family of Rev. Priddy. My mother, aunt and I joined Ashbury Methodist Church on Jefferson Davis Hwy when he was a pastor there. We always enjoyed being members of that church. With deep respect, LaVerne Jones Posted by: LaVerne Jones at January 15, 2008 10:53 AMI wish to extend my sincere sympathy to the family of Rev. Priddy. My Grandfather was Charles R. Priddy who was a cousin of Rev. Priddy. My Grandfather and my Mother, Audrey Priddy Carver, were always so proud that a committment was made to serve the church. My mother often spoke of Ernest and his Mother. In 1964 I was married by Rev. Priddy at my home in Chesterfield County. I believe this was the first marriage ceremony he performed after becoming the minister of St. Luke's Methodist Church. My Mother express that Rev. Priddy's Mother had researched the Priddy family geneaology. When convenient, I would greatly appreciate a copy. Once again, my I expressed my sincere sympathy to all who loved Rev. Priddy.
