Edith Bikle Gregg, 94, a native of Charleston South Carolina, slipped into the arms of her Heavenly Father on July 20, 2021. Edie was born on February 28, 1927, the daughter of Louis Albert Bikle and Mary Poppenheim Bikle. She was the proud wife and widow of Walter Boyd Gregg, who preceded her in death.

Edie graduated from Ashley Hall and Converse College, and began her career teaching in Charleston at Chicora High. There she met the love of her life, Boyd, and they shared over 50 years of marriage. She retired from Middleton High School but remained a teacher every day of her life.

Edie loved life, and she loved her life. Through her teaching career and her life in church and community she made many cherished friends who became like family, including many of her former students.
