Ethel was preceded in death by her husband, Atlas Joyner Edwards and son, Harold Edwards. Ethel was a sales representative for Electrolux for many years and was a long time member of Wakefield Central Baptist Church. She absolutely loved working in her yard and kept it manicured all year long. She had a wonderful sense of humor and her laugh was infectious. Ethel will be missed by all who knew her. Rest in peace.
