Edna Lucille Church, age 92, passed away on October 1, 2025, at Mount Pleasant Health and Rehab in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee. She was born on May 17, 1933, in Maury County to the late Johnny and Martha LeMay.

Edna was a hardworking woman who poured her love and care into her family, her home, and her garden. She had a true green thumb and was known for the beauty of her flowers, especially her roses, daffodils, angel trumpets, crepe myrtles, and calla lilies. She also found joy in the kitchen, where she was a wonderful cook. Her chicken and dumplings, roast and potatoes, and her famous banana pudding were family favorites. In addition, Edna loved canning and became especially well-known for her pickles of all kinds.

Above all, family was the most important part of Edna’s life. She cherished time spent with her loved ones and leaves behind many treasured memories.
