Elledge -- Bernice (Bernie) Elledge, born May 21, 1929, a long time resident of Albuquerque, went home to be with Our Lord on April 5, 1999, after a long illness. She was preceded in death by her husband Hollis P. (Bud) Elledge in 1990. Survivors include her stepfather, Charles L. Young of Clovis, NM; son, David Elledge and wife, Gayle of Edgewood, NM; granddaughters, Heather Zimny and husband, Brian; Alicia Hidalgo and husband, Stuart; and great-grandson, Benjamin Hidalgo, all of Albuquerque. Her close friend, Mike Zownir provided love and support to the end. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. A vocalist for many years, Bernie began singing professionally at the age of fourteen. She was a member of the Rio Grande Jazz Society and had a passion for song. The joy that her voice brought to so many will be greatly missed. We are confident that the Angelic Choir of Heaven has a new, clear voice singing praises to God and our Savior, Jesus Christ.
