Londa was born November 29, 1943, in Stanly County to the late Henry and Hazel Chance.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, C. Richard Aldridge, in 2004, and her siblings, Nancy, Louise, Kent, and Eddie.
Londa was a devoted mother and grandmother who cherished every moment spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed simple pleasures in life such as visiting the library with her sister, watching her favorite sitcoms, and sharing a good cup of coffee. She had a special love for animals and adored her canine companion, Peanut. To her daughters, she was their hero; selfless, caring, and always putting the needs of others before her own. Family gatherings, especially during the holidays, were among the moments she treasured most.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Betty Dennis and the staff of Tillery Compassionate Care for the compassionate care and support shown to Londa during her declining health.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Tillery Compassionate Care, 960 N. First Street, Albemarle, NC 28001.
