Frances Marie Edwards

September 6, 1926 - July 30, 2019

Frances Marie Edwards, 92, passed away on July 30, 2019. She was born to parents, Dan and Ocella Middleton in Vilonia, Arkansas on September 6, 1926. She was from Dewey, Arizona. She resided in the State of Arizona 68 years. She was pre-deceased by her husband, John William Edwards, on October 24, 2015. She was the Sister of Geneva. She was the Mother of Joan Egnatoff, and the Grandmother of Bobbi and Mitch and the Great Grandmother of Jessica, Josh, Aaron and Rylee. As many of her friends soon came to find out, she was a fierce and competitive card player, and always a joke teller. In her younger years, she loved to sew. 10 years ago, before her sight began to fail, she crocheted 76 lap blankets and donated them to the Samaritan Care Center in Prescott Valley. She was a Christian. She didn't think it felt like she had been to church unless she sang at least one Southern Gospel Hymn. She enjoyed cooking and spending time with her family. She was very direct and you never had to wonder what she was thinking because she would tell you. Her passing has left a huge hole in our family that can never be filled. We will love and miss her forever.
