While Mrs. Ledbetter was the mother of a good friend, my memories of her mainly involve Red Lobster as others have written. Many times I would show up for lunch when I worked in West Columbia and always be greeted with her warm smile and twinkling eyes. She made a point to "roll out the red carpet" for me and my friends and did everything possible to make me feel special. I would watch how she interacted with fellow workers as well as the public and was amazed at her energy level and the spring in her step. She had a confidence about her that made you feel that she was in charge, that she knew exactly what she was doing, and that you were going to be well taken care of. Her position seemed to be more than just a job - it seemed to be her life. She beamed with pride at the service she provided which is so rare in the service industry today. It was so easy to forget how really old she really because she possessed such a vitality about her. She definitely was "one of a kind" in so many ways. She was a character at times no doubt, and you never had to wonder how she felt about something. Mrs. Ledbetter had the characteristics that make her unforgettable. My sympathy goes to all of her family and friends - particularly to her daughter Donna who provided that supportive safety net always for her mamma. May God grant you peace with this great loss.
