Very quietly and peacefully on Wednesday June 4, 2014, God closed the eyes of our beloved Earlean Winfield Edwards as she slipped away and entered into eternal rest at her residence in Waverly, Virginia.
Earlean was born on February 4, 1939 in Sussex, Virginia to the late Earl Nicholas Winfield and Susie Mae Brown. She was educated in the Sussex County School System Sussex, Virginia.
She joined Pleasant Grove United Church of Christ at an early age. Earlean had a love for her family and enjoyed being outdoors. She had an uplifting spirit and an encouraging word for everyone and would give you her last dime. She loved her pet dog, Tia, which she had for seventeen years.
