On March 30, 2022 Janet Edwards left her home to abide with her heavenly Father. A resident of Parks, Arkansas she was also a cherished member of the Waldron Community.
Jan was born in Connecticut and was very proud of her Yankee heritage. She moved to California and after a few years she met and married her soul mate Kyle Edwards. After retiring they moved to Parks and built their dream home which was always warm and welcoming. After 40 years she became known as a beautiful southern belle.
Jan was a world traveler and had a zest for life. Her days consisted of lunching with her friends whenever she got the opportunity, attending Bible study and of course, playing bridge with beloved friends. She was the ideal hostess and loved to entertain.
Music was high on her list of enjoyment, especially the country and cajun sound of “Gator and Friends”. Whenever they were playing on Tuesday night at Hatfield, you could find Jan in her glory, listening to the music, visiting with friends and occasionally even dancing.
Jan is survived by her beloved and faithful Pomeranian, Molly, countless friends who love her and will miss her especially her best friend, Verna.
Preceding her in death were her soul mate and loving husband, Kyle Edwards, two sons: Michael and Dennie West and her parents and grandparents.
Jan’s memorial life celebration will be at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, April 10, 2022 at the United Methodist Church in Waldron, Arkansas with Rev. Diane Miller, and Rev. Roger Rice officiating. Arrangements and cremation are being entrusted to the Heritage Memorial Funeral Home & Crematory in Waldron, Arkansas.
In Jan’s honor a memorial garden will be created at the United Methodist Church in Waldron, Arkansas. Memorial contributions for this project can be made to Waldron United Methodist Church or at Amber’s Bistro.
