Audrea Michelle Ridley, age 54, of Elizabethtown, Kentucky passed away on Friday, October 23, 2026, with loving family by her side. She was born on November 22, 1971, in Louisville, Kentucky to Danny and Alice (Miller) Moss. Michelle had a great sense of humor and enjoyed being outdoors. She spent her spare time tending to her garden, riding their motorcycle and family time on her boat. She was wonderful at arts and crafts and could operate heavy equipment like a pro. Spending time with her family at the “Green Mater” restaurant in Tennessee was something she loved to do. Michelle was a great cook, and her family fondly remembers her steaks, lasagna and Snicker Doodle cookies. Her true passion was her family; spending time with them and making memories are what Michelle held most dear to her heart. Her kind and caring nature and always taking care of others before herself will be remembered by all those who knew and loved her. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Earnest and Dorothy Miller and Orville and Christine Moss and her granddaughter, Emalyn Kelly Stewart.
Those left to honor and cherish her memory are her beloved husband, William “Beetle” Ridley; daughters and their spouses, Jessica and Kevin Stewart and Monica and Brandon Braun; parents, Danny and Judy Moss and Alice Moss; grandchildren, Kate, Wyatt, Ellie Mae and Ian Stewart; siblings, Tim Moss, Janice and Steve Ray and Reid Nix; nieces and nephews, Jon Moss, Maria Moss, Janie Ray, Jodi Ray, Mark Ray and Kaleb Nix and a host of other family and friends.
