Marie Edwards, 92, passed away on May 16, 2021, in Sun City West, Arizona. She was born in 1929 in Houston, Ohio to William and Laura Whitlow, the 4th of 14 children. In the late 1950’s she moved to Arizona, where she met the love of her life, Jim Edwards. With her passing, she has rejoined Jim, her daughter-in-law Bonnie, and her first grandson Rob.
Marie was adored by everyone she met and was always the life of the party. She lived life to the fullest, with few apologies and no regrets. Marie loved spending hours gardening and was an extremely talented seamstress. She was a longtime member of American Legion Auxiliary Unit 61 in Avondale, Arizona.
She is survived by her two children, Ed and Sherri; her son-in-law, Ed; her grandchildren, Elizabeth, Jamison, and Sarah; great-grandchildren Blythe, Aspen, EJ, Charles, and Ian; and great-great-grandchildren Poet, Lyra, and Zoey who will fondly remember their Grandma Rie.
Marie will be laid to rest at Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery in Phoenix, Arizona. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Legion.
