Charlotte Edwards Obituary

Published by Legacy on Feb. 19, 2024.
Charlotte Rebecca (Brown) Edwards, age 73, born January 5,1951, in Attalla, AL to the late Otis and Yvonne (Farmer) Brown, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on February 17, 2024.
Char attended Etowah High School, class of 1969, before she began her life-long career as Mom. Our mother was a kind, self-less, beautiful, Christian woman. She always put the needs of those she loved before her own. Although she was a mother to 7 children, she helped raise and guide countless more. She was a strong woman who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity. Our mother was a source of inspiration to us all and she will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched.
Char joins her parents, grandparents, her late husband, Roger Edwards and her grandson, Kalab Whitworth in Heaven.
She is survived by her children, DeLacy Whitworth, Zachary Whitworth, Yukia (T.J.) Forrester, Kenric (April) Whitworth, Kaja (Zachary) Nail, Skylar (DeMarlo) Blount, Tanner (Surya) Edwards; step-children, Tammy (Chris) Swindall, Dude (Tiffany) Edwards; grandchildren, Ashley (Daniel) Norton, Austin McCall, Dama Najarro, Keylee Whitworth, Olivia Whitworth, Christian Whitworth, Kayla (Brandon) Ellis, Bradley (Jada) Mason, Raiden Whitworth, Ila Forrester, Allexus Whitworth, Kaitlyn Whitworth, Bronx Edwards-Nail, Lenox Edwards-Blount, Jordyn Blount, Jaycee Blount, Lohla Edwards, Mila Edwards, Whitney (Craig) Wood, Ann-Margaret Swindall, Noah (Nicole) Freeman, and Jovie Edwards. She also leaves to cherish her memory, her great-grandchildren; her sister, Sharon (David) McAllister; her beloved Aunt Evelyn; and a host of other family, friends, and loved ones.
We love you more Mom and we'll see you later alligator.
