Edwina Batson was a wonderful person and my cousin. She always was kind and fun to be around. Her sense of humor was delightful. Edwina was always ready to go out and participate in every social event. She loved her family, relatives and friends deeply. Edwina never had a negative word to say about anyone.

My cousin and I called her Aunt Winky! She was always at family events growing up and she would send us a card for EVERY holiday as a kid. She was a great person and she will be missed!

Edwina and I grew up on Oleander Drive. I knew her mother, Mary and her father, Eddie - her family and my family had many good times over the years. Edwina was a wonderful and kind person to everyone she met.
