Publish in a newspaper

Edwina Louise Dollar, a fun-loving, independent spirit and devoted Nana, passed away peacefully at her residence in Winchester, Tennessee, on Sunday, November 9, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was 83.

Born on February 18, 1942, in Lincoln County, Tennessee, Edwina was the daughter of the late Glyn and Clara Scott Nichols. Edwina truly embraced life. She was known for being fun and outgoing, always finding a way to have a good time with her family and friends. Her active social life included dancing at the senior center, and she especially loved line dancing twice a week.

She was a remarkably hardworking and independent woman. She maintained a pristine yard, often mowing and trimming it herself twice a week, a testament to her dedication. Edwina was also famous for her routine trips to Arby's for a favorite treat: a cherry turnover.

Above all, Edwina cherished her role as a Nana. She had a boundless capacity for adventure, exemplified by the time she went skydiving with her grandson at the age of 81! She instilled a spirit of joy and good times in her family. A woman of faith, she was a member of the Flintville Baptist Church and faithfully read her Bible daily.

Survivors include her son, Dale Bartlett; grandchildren, Shannon Cornwell, Murray (Amanda) Bartlett, Chanse (Catherine) Bartlett, and Eric (Holly) Bartlett; great-grandchildren, Kenya Buckner, Cason Bartlett, Easton Bartlett, Tucker Walter, Levi Walker, Ava Posey, Walt Bartlett, Jack Bartlett, and Anakin Cornwell; and her bonus sister and friend, Dean (Jimmy) Dunivan and her children, Perry, Danny, Benji, and Jodi. In addition to her parents, Edwina was preceded in death by her husband, Duncan "Junior" Dollar; son, Steven Murray Bartlett; sisters, Martha Anglea, and Gail Nichols Reed; and a brother, Virgil Nichols.

The family will receive friends for visitation on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Higgins Funeral Home. A funeral service will immediately follow at 1:00 PM at the funeral home, with Bro. Eddie Graves officiating. Burial will take place afterward at the Old Orchard Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memorial Processing, 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105-9959.

Higgins Funeral Home is honored to be serving the family of Edwina Louise Dollar.
