January 28, 1932 ~ January 14, 2026 (age 93)
Kathryn Jordan Eastridge, born January 28, 1932, was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend who was deeply loved by all who knew her. She passed away peacefully on January 14, 2026, at the age of 93.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Albert Eastridge; her former husband, Charles Lewis High; her parents, Pearlie Jordan and Robert “Bob” Jordan (Henderson); and her brothers, Theodore Jordan and Dewey Jordan.
She is survived by her children, Wanda Harris (Tommy), Darrel High (Susan), and Penny Stewart; grandchildren Jason Harris, Dustin Harris (Niki), Ryan Stewart, and Carmen Danzey (JW); and several great-grandchildren, including Holley, Blake, and Charlee Stewart; Easton and Walker Danzey; and Sydney and Warren Harris; along with extended family members and many dear friends.
Kathryn was a faithful and longtime member of Providence Baptist Church in Opelika, Alabama, where she especially enjoyed the fellowship and friendships of the Encouragers Sunday School class, which held a special place in her heart.
She began her career at MSnower, known to many as “the sewing room,” where she dedicated 25 years of hard work and commitment. It was there that she met the love of her life, Albert Eastridge. They later married and shared a deep and enduring love until his passing in 2017. After her time at the sewing room, Kathryn went on to work for First National Bank, where she later retired. Kathryn and Albert made their home in the Beauregard community, where they spent many happy years together.
In her younger years, Kathryn enjoyed sewing, cooking, traveling, playing dominos with friends, and visiting arts and crafts shows, where she sold handmade jewelry—an activity that became a cherished post-retirement hobby. She was known for her quick wit and wonderful sense of humor, and she had a special gift for making people laugh and feel welcome.
Kathryn was a strong-willed woman with a generous heart, known for her dedication to family, her strong work ethic, and her faith. She was deeply loved and cared for by many and will be fondly remembered for her laughter, her strength, and the joy she brought into the lives of others.
