Obituary

Kathleen Agnes Roche Edwards, a longtime resident of Pearl River, New York, passed peacefully into the arms of her heavenly Savior on Holy Saturday, April 11 due to complications from the coronavirus… She married Baldwin Joseph Edwards, the love of her life, on November 30, 1946, and had three children. In 1962 the family moved to a small brick house on South William Street in Pearl River to “get the kids out of the city.” Unfortunately, Baldwin passed away on September 5, 1964, of a heart attack at only 49, leaving Kathleen to care for their children aged 7, 12 and 13. With the loving support of family, she did a miraculous job, raising a dentist, a lawyer, and a teacher.

“I remember walking into town and shopping at Ben Franklin 5 & 10, Mrs. Edwards at the register in the front of the store. I have great memories of playing at the house with Kathy then walking home. What a long, loving life.”
