Edsel Milholen

 

Edsel Milholen, age 65, of Norman, passed away on Monday, November 28, 2022.

 

He was born on December 24, 1957, in Hot Springs, the son of John Raymond Milholen and Minerva Ann Burrow Milholen.  He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Farron Milholen and an infant brother, JD Milholen; his father-in-law, Doyle Diggs; and his brother-in-law, Waylon Chambers.

 

On March 4, 1981, he was married to the love of his life, Teresa Lynn Diggs.  Edsel enjoyed hunting, fishing, and telling his many stories.  Anytime you saw Edsel, he always had a wrench in his hand and had a true passion and talent for working on old cars and trucks.  Above all, Edsel’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his family, who he dearly loved with all his heart.  He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
