Letty Edwards Obituary

Even though we had not kept in touch like I wished we did, I really miss her smile, her since of humor, and her humbleness. It was painful to see her go. But I believe that she is resting in God's grace. Remembering our early days working together at Robert Bosch and our special talks and crazy things we shared will always be in my heart. To the Washington and Edwards families, continue to hold those precious memories near to your heart and rest in knowing that we will see Letty again. Rest on sweetie.

Continue to rest in Heavenly peace Letty!! You are missed deeply!!!

I miss Letty so much!! The songs she sang still ring in my heart!!! "If the Lord never does anything else for me, He's done enough" When ever I heard that song Letty comes to mind. Miss you, rest well Letty.

To the Washington & Edwards Family,

I have known Letty for over 30 years. Our best memories would be those we shared at Garrett High School (where she played basketball and ran track and I was a cheerleader).

The last time I saw Letty was at the FalconFest back in July 2010. We had such a wonderful time. She was happy, joking around, and taking pictures of/with everyone. Letty, Barbara Dent, Valisa Sarvis, Pam Mack, Phyllis Griffin (my sister) and I met at Applebess for lunch. What a joyous time we had (but I had no idea that would be the last time I would see her smiling face and fellowship with her).

I know she is smiling and rejoicing in her heavenly home with Christ Jesus. The home where there is no more sorrow, sickness, and pain (the home way beyond the clouds) for she has been changed from mortal to immortal.

The Jesus in Letty made it so easy for me to love her, be friends with her, and spiritually filled by her presence.

God will grant you strength, comfort, and peace with Letty's separation from her earthly life to her heavenly life. God promises to take care of you.

Letty Washington Edwards, a true and faithful servant of GOD...Well Done.

Sincere & Heartfelt Sympathy,

Dito, when I heard of Letty's death, my mind when back to high school. This skinny, little girl that moved swiftly when holding the basketball. I know it is hard for you right now and it will be that way for years to come, but God will always be there for you and the kids. I walked in your shoes 25 years ago. It still hurts but my Father is still there with me. He blessed you with so many memories for so many years so give God thanks. I will be praying for you and your children

Words cannot express how I feel.
I do know my sister(Letty)is with the angels now.
She will always be the special angel watching over her family.
Time goes by so fast we seem to think our love ones will always be here with us.
But we do know that God knows what's best for us.

To the Edwards Family may god help you threw this time of losing a wonderful loving person who helped everybody and everyone around her. God Bless Love and Prayers from the Jollie's and Burgess's

Sitting in the parking lot at Bethlehem Christian Life Center waiting for the kid to finish practice I noticed a person's name on the sign. It was Letty Edwards. There is this lady who followed out of service one Sunday when we were leaving early (it was first Sunday and a very long service). She stopped us in the foyer and simply said: "I just wanted to come out here and say hello to you all and introduce myself. My name is Letty." Immediately I was interested in what she had to say because my maternal grandmother's name was Lettie. I didn't know at the time they had a different spelling. So every Sunday I would look for Letty in the choir stand. Sure enough there she was on the end holding it down.

Well I waited to see what the sign said. It scrolled back around to Letty's name and then I was distracted so I couldn't see the full announcement. Third time I caught it. At first I thought it was an announcement saying she was preaching Sunday. We would be in Memphis and would miss her message. But instead it read: Letty Edwards Homegoing Services.

Floored! So since I didn't know Letty's last name I couldn't be sure it was her. I instantly googled it on my phone. The obituary popped up with her picture. It was our Letty. Man oh man.

It's not like she was close to us as church members or anything. It was the simple fact that she took 2 minutes out of her life to just stop and say "hello" to someone she didn't know. We appreciate the love of Christ she distributed that day.

Michael and Chandra Fitch

praying for you and your family,weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
expressing our heartfelt sympathy.

My heat aches for everyone that has had the HONOR of knowing Letty.To know her was to love her. Letty was my first best friend. At Burns Elem. we were like 2 peas in a pod. We always laugh about the day she got the scar on her neck. Robin and Letty being the tom boys that we were.I will miss you but I know I will see you again. I love you girlie.

To the Edwards family. Letty will be truly missed with her loving spirit. We wanted her here with us but God wanted her more. May God strenghten you each day as you go forth with the cherish memories of Letty.
Love & Blessings,Duane, Beverly & Caleb Neal.

Daniel & Family, we know that words are inadequate at a time like this, but we wanted you to know that we are praying for you and your family. The Bible reminds us that "Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted". We pray that this will be especially true for you and the family as you continue with your daily activities. We are here for you if you ever need us.

To the Edwards Family, may God Bless you and your family during this time of sorrow. As children,My sisters and I enjoyed spending time with our cousin on the weekend. Letty was a joy to be around.....Sandra Ward(Carey),daughter of Mattie Carey(Reid).

Thank God for introducing me to Letty. She was a beautiful person inside and out. No matter what was going on in her life she always praised God . She always repeated to me "To God be the Glory" and I will
never forget her. May God bless her family and friends.
Brenda Sims

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

We thank you for covering and your prophetic word over our lives. We recieve it in Jesus Name and love.

God please give this family strength and peace. God has truely acquired a perfect angel! I Love You Letty.

I remember Letty from my childhood. Her and my aunts were close. It's been years since I've seen or spoken to her but I can remember her voice and her laughter. Like others mentioned she was a sweet and kind person. My heart and prayers went out to you when I heard of her passing. I will continue to pray for you. May God give you peace and comfort as He has promised in His Word.

Thank God for all of your memories and I know that they will carry you through. Letty, Murray Hill and the students from Garrett High truly met a beautiful person when we met you. I thank God that I went to Garrett's reunion last year because when we saw one another we just hugged. I thank God for that opportunity not knowing it would be the last time I saw her.

Sincerely Antje Pösse

When I listen to all the good things you would say about your wife at work,I get this feeling she's gone to a good place, a different land.

But know that God is always there to provide you strength and stability during these times when it seems that your world ceases to exist. Know that prayers are lifted for the family, and voices are rejoicing as heaven has received an angel to add to their choir. We can only imagine how much sweeter Heaven sounds with her presence.

We will never forget her smiling face and warm embrace when we joined Bethelhem Baptist Church.

Blessings always,

To: The Edwards family.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you all.I met Letty years ago @ Garrett High, and we became friend. Everytime time I saw Dido, I always ask you about your beautiful wife.

She will be truly missed.

May God Bless and keep you.

I would only have to go next door for a friend or simply meet her in the common driveway shared by our families. I will miss you, my childhood friend. To the Washington family , the lucky man that had the good fortune to wed her, and her beautiful children--Our angel has returned home. Stay Strong!

Words do not express the sadness on learning of Letty's death. Her laugh was contagious and her love of God was evident in every conversation.
My thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this difficult time. May God continue to Bless and be with each and everyone of you during this time of grief.

To the Edwards Family - My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Letty was such a joy to know. She always had a smile on her face and a kind, prayerful word for you. She would always say "To God be the Glory". I have enjoyed 4 years of being on the Gospel Choir with Letty. What a beautiful voice she had. "Just As Soon" has come to soon but I know she's with God and singing with a new choir now. She will be greatly missed. You have my deepest sympathy.

Our Prayers are with you all. Letty will be missed ! I know that she is rejoicing with the Lord right now, as she would say "To God be The Glory" Love,
Minister Dexter, Evon and Devonte' Cason Fountain Inn SC

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

To the Washington & Edwards Family, you have my deepest sympathy and prayers. I was just in letty's presence two weeks ago. I turned around and saw that smile and stated "I know you" and she said, "yes you do"! and then there was Dido! OMG She was a beautiful, friendly person with a calming spirit that never passed judgement and I loved her for all of this. God loved her best. Rest In Peace My Sista! A beautiful flower has entered the Kingdom.
