Arbana Birdella
Ridgeway Newhard, daughter of James Edward Davis and Margaret Deborah
Ridgway was born on June 9, 1937 in a Quonset hut known as "Tin Pan
Alley" in Cheswold, Delaware. Upon the death of her mother, shortly
after she was born, Birdella was raised by her mother's sister and her
husband, Lola and Forrest Seeney. She lived most of her life in Cheswold
and attended Cheswold School. At an early age Birdella helped to raise
her eight siblings. Throughout the years several of her brothers and sisters
came to live with her.
On June 1 0, 1 953
she was united in marriage to Benjamin F. Ridgeway Jr. . To this union
was born three daughters and three sons, Deborah "Debbie" ,
Margaret "Annette", Christopher "Chris", Anita, Robert
"Bobbie", and Benjamin ~'Bennie". Benjamin and Birdella
were happily married for thirty years.
Besides raising her
family and her siblings Birdella worked outside of her home for several
establishments. throughout her lifetime, as a cook. She was known for
her good cooking. especially her dumplings, macoroni and cheese and cakes
and everyone gathered at her home on Sundays for dinner. She never turned
anyone away and if you were hungry when you left that was your own fault
because Birdie always had plenty of food. She was always baking cakes
for everyone for their birthdays but said she only received store bought
cakes when it was hers. She helped to create wonderful memories for her
family and throughout the community with her wedding and special occasion
cakes.
When her health would
allow it, she enjoyed doing her many crafts. Birdella loved crocheting
and her needlepoint canvas. Many of us have one of her needlepoint birdcages
and Indian dolls in our homes. She even gave them to her doctors and their
staff.
She loved spending
time with her family. especially her children. grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. Birdella was always checking on everyone to see how they
were doing. She W(i)uld spend hours talking on the phone giving encouragement,
advice and love. She treated her son-in-laws as if they were her own sons.
According to her daughters these guys couldn't do anything wrong and she
catered to their every whim. She also treated her daughter-in-laws as
her own daughters.
Her love for others
did not stop with her family. She took care of Mrs. Sawyer for several
years and also cared for two very special aunts, ~'Aunt Sarah" and
~'Aunt Ban~' her namesake, placing their comfort and needs above her own.
Birdella loved going
to parties and dancing, even attending her granddaughter's graduation
party just four weeks ago and dancing her final dance with a ladies choice
with Jake.
She enjoyed attending
her church with her cousins, Ardella and Dee when she was able to. She
loved listening to her music, especially country. Conway Twitty was sure
to bring a smile to her face. She was even known to pick up a mike and
sing at family gatherings.
Birdella was known
for rearranging furniture and changing her curtains constantly. You would
have to look before you sat down because the chair might not be in the
same place as last time.
When she was younger Birdella would give her sisters Sarah, Janice and
Nancy her own children to play with as dolls. They can remember her giving
them bottles of milk and crackers and putting the kids in a wagon and
then having them take them into the woods to a playhouse.
When her children
misbehaved they were sent to bed, even if it was light out and if they
complained she would pull the blinds down and say it was not light out
now.
Even though her husband
Benjamin has been gone for several years Birdella still kept in close
contact with her in-laws. She cared about everyone. Birdella was loved
by many and will be sadly missed.
She leaves to mourn
three sons and two daughter-in-laws:
Chris & Peggy
Ridgeway, Bobby & Judie Ridgeway, Bennie Ridgeway; three daughters
and son-in-laws: Debbie & Jackie Johnson, Annette & Norman Carney,

Branches of the U.S. Marine Corps and Quartermaster Depot until her retirement

After
becoming widowed at the age of 44, her life was like the Rock of Ages
and she weathered many a storm. She was truly and completely devoted to
her family. Her home was a comfort to quite a few in need during these
trying times. There was never a hungry soul or heavy heart that “Aggie
or Tish” didn’t console. Agnes participated in neighborhood events as
long as her health permitted, where she was always willing to lend a helping
hand when needed, even though she never complained for herself. Agnes
passed away Monday, quickly and quietly, surrounded by her family, whom
she never wanted to leave her. She got her wish.
She
leaves to cherish precious memories: her devoted daughters, Mrs. Clara
Valdera, Mrs. Katherine Thomas, and Miss Constance Newlin, all of Philadelphia;
three sons-in-law, Mr. Ralph C. Thomas, Mr. Clyde E. Jacobs, and Mr. Feliciano

his education, which he accomplished June 18, 1953, receiving the degree

a devoted and concerned brother who could always be counted on for advice,
support and encouragement to his brother and sisters, other family members,
friends and neighbors. A “man’s-man,” Aubrey ran “deep.” He had a personality
characterized by a quick wit and a determination to keep his problems
and concerns private to prevent worry by his loved ones, the ones he himself

for six years. He attended and graduated from Nanticoke Indian Elementary
School, Millsboro, and William C. Jason High School, Georgetown, class
of 1959. Tee learned auto mechanics while attending school and found his
first job working as an auto mechanic for H.C. Burton Jr. Trucking Company
in Millsboro for several years. Tee was drafted into the U.S. Army in
December 1963, and sent to Fort Jackson, S.C., for basic training. Tee
was discharged in October 1965 from 549 MP Company at the Panama Canal
Zone, Fort Davis. Tee found his princess, Jean A. Johnson. They united
in holy matrimony Jan. 13, 1968, at Indian Mission Methodist Church, Millsboro.
Tidewater Laughing Wolf was a devoted member of the Nanticoke Indian Association.
He was an elected chief of the Nanticoke Tribe from June 2002 to July
2008. He loved and supported the eldest to the youngest. With dignity,
Chief Tee committed his whole heart, soul and body to serving his Nanticoke
community. Under his leadership he was able to establish the spirit of
unity with other tribes, and renew a working relationship with the community,
county and state officials. Affiliations were established with various
grant resources. The Nanticoke Indian Association Scholarship fund was
established for the higher education of the Nanticoke young people. He
encouraged, supported and accompanied the NDN Stix Chix dance troupe.
He was instrumental in overseeing the refurbishing of the Nanticoke Indian
Center and improvements to the Nanticoke Indian Museum. He was able to
obtain approval from the state of Delaware to transfer ownership of the
Nanticoke Indian Center to the Nanticoke Tribe. Family classes on tribe
history as well as courses in the Nanticoke language were conducted under
his tenure, with each participating family receiving an assortment of
books on Eastern Native American History. In 2004 Tee was featured in
the magazine National Museum of the American Indian, as he celebrated
the grand opening of the museum in Washington, D.C. He has also been featured
in articles of local news media. In 2007 Chief Tee traveled extensively
to celebrate and re-enact some of the activities that the Nanticoke experienced
with Capt. John Smith in 1608. A permanent obelisk was dedicated by Sen.
Tom Carper at Phillips Landing near Laurel. His crowning achievement was
helping acquire 16 acres of wooded land adjacent to the site where the
tribe's powwow is held each year. Tee was an employee at Collins &
Ryan Gas Co. for 11 years in the stockroom of the Parts and Inventory
Department. On occasion he drove the transport truck to Delaware City
and Glassboro, N.J. In November 1971 Tee was employed by the Diamond State
Telephone Company as an installer. The company later became Bell Atlantic
and eventually Verizon. Tee drove his 1951 Chevrolet pickup "The
Possum" to work the first day and his last day in September 2001,
when he retired after 30 years. Tee became a member of the Indian River
Volunteer Fire Company. He served as a president, secretary and treasurer
at various times throughout his 40 years of volunteer service. On Oct.
17, 2010, Tee was honored to become the first president emeritus of the
IRVFC. Tee was a member of the American Motorcycle Association, the Delmarva
H.O.G, and the Delmarva Retreads bikers' clubs; the Tuckahoe Steam and
Gas Association; the Eastern Shore Threshermen Association; the First
State Tractors Association; VFW Post 10638; and American Legion Post 28.
Among many things, Tee enjoyed life and people, which included family,
friends and community. He met no strangers. Along with his bib overalls,
Tee always wore a smile and a cheery "Hello." Tee's hobbies
were riding his Harley, and traveling on vacation and to powwows in his
motor home. He grew up farming and continued until June 2010. He planted
his garden, and plowed friends and neighbors' gardens.
