Edward Guy Culpeper, Sr. of Pepperell, Alabama, departed this earthly life for his Heavenly Home on October 4, 2017. Born in Sylacauga, Alabama, on July 19, 1935, Ed was the son of William and Alma Culpeper.

Ed retired from West Point Pepperell in 2005 after 48 years of service. Ed and Lillie attended Heritage Baptist Church. During his retirement, Ed enjoyed walking, amateur radio, gardening, Alabama football, and working Sudoku puzzles.
