Publish in a newspaper

Michelle Edwards, age 77, passed away Friday, November 7, 2025. She was the beloved wife of Edward Edwards, Jr., and together they had just celebrated 61 years of marriage-a bond marked by deep love, shared memories, and enduring strength.

Michelle was the devoted mother of Edward Edwards III (who preceded her in 2019), Anthony (Dawn) Edwards, Brian (Jennifer) Edwards, William (Karen) Edwards, and Lisa (Richard) Howard. She took great pride in her family and loved her grandchildren-Nathan (Mary) & Ryan Edwards, Emily & Brian Jr. Edwards, and Olivia Howard-and her great-grandson, Bennett.

She was the loving sister of Albert Christoff and is preceded in death by her other siblings.
