Linda Darlene Edwards was born October 5, 1950 to Leland J. and Ruth A. (Davies) Edwards. She passed away on January 2, 2022 at the Hays Medical Center, Hays, KS, at the age of 71.
Linda was the fifth of seven children. She was afflicted with Polio from age two. This did not stop her from the things she wanted to do.
She was united in marriage to Glen "Ike" Edwards on August 8, 1971 in Downs, KS. The couple was told that she was unable to have children due to Polio; however, they were blessed with three: Timothy Ryan, Mathew Dean, and Sammie Coleen. She taught all three how to swim and often said the water was the only place she could keep up with her kids.
She helped Ike coach little league baseball, was in charge of a daycare center, and babysat several kids.
Linda is survived by husband Ike of Phillipsburg; 2 sons Timothy of Phillipsburg and Mathew and wife Wendy of Pleasantville, IA; daughter Sammie Pinkal and husband Kyle of Wilcox, NE; 12 grandchildren; 4 great grandchildren; 3 sisters, Kay Henry and husband Jessie, Bonnie Edwards and husband John, Rita Martin; 2 sister's-in-law Margie Stout and husband Keith Gray and Glenice Emmett and husband John; 3 brother's-in-law Loren Edwards and wife Ann, Dan Edwards and Samuel Edwards; and a host of nieces and nephews.
She will be missed by all that knew and loved her.
