Edith M. Blodgett

May 14, 1943 - January 1, 2026

 

Edith Mae Blodgett (Hopf) passed away peacefully at home on January 1 at the age of 82 surrounded by her loving family, after courageously battling a long illness.

Born and raised in Natick, Massachusetts, Edie graduated from Natick High School with the Class of 1961, where she proudly served as class treasurer. Shortly after, she began her lifelong career at Natick Labs, a place that not only shaped her professional life but also introduced her to the love of her life, Curtis. The two married and shared an extraordinary 60 years together.

Edie and Curtis made their home in Framingham, where they lived for the past six decades and raised their family. She is survived by Curtis and her sons, Scot Blodgett and his wife Nicole of Milford, MA, and Eric Blodgett of Framingham, MA. She was a devoted and cherished Grammy to Erin Blodgett and her fiancé Ryan Lindsay, and Joseph Blodgett, all of whom brought her immense joy.

After retiring, Edie embraced the simple pleasures she loved most—spending time with her family and traveling with Curtis. Their annual trips to Aruba became a treasured tradition, filled with warmth, sunshine, and memories that will be held close by those who loved her.

Family and friends are invited to honor and remember Edith's life by gathering for a time of visitation in the McCarthy, McKinney & Lawler Funeral Home, 11 Lincoln St., Framingham, on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Glenwood Cemetery in Natick.

Edie will be remembered for her kindness, her steady presence, and the deep love she had for her family. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched and the memories she leaves behind.
