Obituary of Hope Elizabeth Eddy

Pomfret Center - Hope Elizabeth Eddy, 21, beloved daughter of David Timothy and Marianne Eddy, and caring sister of Rachel Eddy, became an angel of God on March 2, 2007 from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Hope was born May 6, 1985 in Putnam. She was a 2003 graduate of Woodstock Academy. While growing up she was an active member in the East Woodstock Congregational Church and Youth Group. She attended the State University of New York at Delhi where she studied Veterinarian Technology and was a member of the Upsilon Delta Epsilon Frarority. She was employed at the Animal Hospital of Putnam as a vet tech. Hope grew up on Valley Farm in Woodstock where her love for nature and animals was nurtured. She particularly loved butterflies, waterfalls, horses, cowboys, country music, her animals and drawing flowers. She was a quiet, sensitive, beautiful young lady who was very passionate about her family and friends. Hope always looked for the good in people. A self-proclaimed princess, Hope was a joy to her family. She had a wacky sense of humor, a stunning smile, and an infectious laugh. No words can express the hole left in our hearts. In addition to her parents and sister, she leaves her maternal grandparents, Seth and Florence Kent of West Glocester, RI, great aunts, aunts, an uncle, and cousins. Funeral Services will be held on Monday March 5, 2007 at the East Woodstock Congregational Church at 7:00 pm. There are no calling hours. Hope will be laid to rest at Elmvale Cemetery in Woodstock in the family plot next to her paternal grandparents, David and Evelyn Eddy.
