[Mrs. Ridley was a long-time] Near North side Indianapolis area resident (resided at 14th & Highland, 27th & Graceland, 27th & Boulevard, and finally, 24th & Illinois).  An article about her long-term relationship with The Children's Museum was published in the Children's Museum of Indianapolis Community Outreach Newsletter, May/June 2006, as "One of Museum's First Patrons Recalls Its 80-Year History." 

 

Mrs. Ridley readily walked and/or rode the bus all of her life until just this past year or so.  She would do so to go to The Children's Museum, to local churches, to the airport, to any place necessary to conduct business, or to any place of civic or cultural interest to her.  She will be missed by many in this immediate community and throughout the City at large.
