Edwin "Eddie" Anthony Riedmueller

Edwin “Eddie” Anthony Riedmueller, age 73, of Center Ridge, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on August 2nd, 2024. He was born June 24, 1951 in Morrilton, AR to Ed and Margie (Fougerousse) Riedmueller. He graduated from Sacred Heart High School in 1969. After high school Eddie joined the Navy and was a Vietnam veteran. After serving his country, Eddie worked for the Arkansas Department of Highway Transportation and then Rogers Group until his retirement in 2014. He was preceded in death by his wife of 44 years, Alice (DeSalvo) Riedmueller, father Ed Riedmueller and brother Jerry Riedmueller. Survivors include his mother, Margie (Fougerousse) Riedmueller; triplet daughters Allison (William) Keith, Rebecca (Kenny) Simon, Melanie (Seth) Riedmueller, only son David (Linley) Riedmueller and his baby girl Caroline (Josh) Baker; Grandchildren, Nicholas, Kendra, Addyson, Hunter, Kase, Beau David, Kinley, Kamryn, Kallie, Elliot, Emerson, Luca, and Lillian; Brothers, Allen (Toni), Pat (Becca), Mark (Lanette), and Robert; Aunts, Otilia Paladino and Lorene Riedmueller; Michael and Misty Huett; In-laws, Jackie Tester, Barbara (George) Moore, and Wayne (Regina) DeSalvo; and a host of special cousins, nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends. Eddie was a voracious reader with library cards in numerous counties and read anything he could get his hands on. Eddie loved his five children and was very proud of their accomplishments, but he genuinely enjoyed being PawPaw to his grandchildren. Eddie loved tending his garden, making sauerkraut, homemade Italian sausage, canning pickles, cruising Catholic Point to “make a circle” while listening to classic rock, especially “The Breeze”, watching Cardinal baseball and Razorback sports, and spending time with his family. Later in his life, you could often find Eddie outside in his Jazzy enjoying a book and a beverage, while lovingly critiquing everything his grandchildren did. Eddie was loved by many for his sense of humor, storytelling, and his mischievous grin. The family would like to thank his doctors, especially Dr. Shaver, Dr. Kennedy, Dr. Hall, and nurses Alexis Palmer, Linzy Worm, Lauren Baugh, Christy Ross, and Conway Regional Intensive Care Unit for their care and compassion to Dad and our family. Funeral mass will be 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, August 7, 2024, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church with Father Jack Harris and Deacon Steve Mallett officiating. Burial will be at St. Joseph Cemetery at Center Ridge. Arrangements are by Harris Funeral Home of Morrilton. Rosary will be 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, August 6, at the funeral home with visitation following. Memorial donations may be made to Sacred Heart Catholic Church or St. Joseph Cemetery in Center Ridge.
