William Isaac Edmondson, III, affectionately known as Ike, was born to the late William Isaac Edmondson Jr. and Mabel Edmondson, in Toledo, Ohio on March 31, 1956. He was educated in the Toledo Public School system, graduating from Jesup W. Scott High School in 1974. He was united in Holy Matrimony to Lisa Brown Edmondson on August 16, 1992. One son, William Isaac Edmondson IV, was born to this union. Ike was employed by the Kroger Company for Sixteen years, and held other positions, before attending Toledo Barber College and becoming a licensed Barber in 1992. He was employed at Liddell’s Barber Shop for several years, until beginning his career with the Lucas County Sherriff’s Office, as a Correction Officer, in July 1997. Ike retired from the Lucas County Sherriff’s office in 2017, after 20 years of service. Brother Edmondson confessed his love for Christ and united with the Eastern Star Missionary Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor John W. Williams in 1992, where he had an opportunity to serve on the Trustee Board and served as the Pastor’s personal Barber for many years. He said, he wanted to cut the Pastor’s hair at the Church, so the Pastor wouldn’t have to endure “shop talk”. Brother Edmondson adored his wife and son, had a soulful voice, loved singing, and was described by all who know him as a tenderhearted, kind-spirited man until departing this life on Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at Mercy Health – St. Vincent Medical Center. He was preceded in death by his Parents and Brothers – Tyrone Woods and Melvin Dent.
