Middletown---Tiger Edes, 15, of 17 Buck Road died Saturday, October 1, 2005 at the Sakonnet Veterinary Hospital in Tiverton from cancer. She was the daughter of the late Precious Hozey.

Born on February 6, 1991 in Portsmouth, Rhode Island she and her brother Bo came to live with their adopted father, Michael Edes on March 27, 1991.

Tiger was an avid bird and squirrel (big mouse) watcher and spent many days with her brother looking out the windows waiting for the birds to come to the feeder and side deck. She was a great napper and always seemed to find that ray of sunshine that was coming into the house to sit in. She and her brother spent countless hours cuddled up on the couch or bed together. Tiger was also one of the greatest bug catchers. She also spent time drinking water from the bathtub.

Even though she was a picky eater, Tiger was very fond of tuna fish, scallops and chicken and had a sweet tooth for doughnuts and cake.

Tiger will be greatly missed by her brother Bo, her step-father and all those who happened to have met her in her lifetime. Tiger was such a sweet, gentle and lovable companion and friend.

Besides her late mother, Tiger leaves two brothers, Bo Edes of Middletown, Mittens Howard of Newport, her late brother Muffin Howard of Newport who passed away on July 21, 2005 and an unknown calico sister. She also leaves a step-brother Boomer Howard of Newport, her adopted father Michael Edes and late cousins Shadow and Mr. Tubbs Edes of Newport. She was a close friend of Mickey, Jonathan and Emma Wingert of Middletown, Riley Wingert of Newport and the late Suki Cardoza of Middletown.

Tiger Edes was cremated on October 3, 2005 at the Robert Potter League Shelter in Middletown and her ashes returned to her step-father. A memorial service for Tiger was held on October 15, 2005.
