On November 29, 1972, Elmer married the love of his life, Mamie "Ruth" Thomas. Elmer was a devoted Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather. There was nothing he wouldn't do to help someone in need.
Elmer was a master craftsman, technician, and gunsmith. He worked for Southwestern Public Service for 15years prior to opening his own service company. For the next 25 years, he owned and operated Edwards Refrigeration until his retirement.

Elmer was preceded in death by his parents Lloyd and Laura. Those left to cherish his memories are his beloved bride Ruth Edwards of the home, sons Randy Edwards and wife Sandy, Rodney Edwards, Bill Quisenberry and wife Jenny, and Larry Quisenberry and wife Cindy, his daughters Lisa Edwards, and Debbie Wynne and husband Michael; 14 grandchildren, and 32 great-grandchildren.
