Wanda E. Edwards passed away peacefully at her home in Durango on September 23, 2016. In 1947 Wanda made a visit to Durango from her home in Kansas and met Arthur Edwards. It was love at first site and the two were married one week later in Aztec, New Mexico. Arthur & Wanda spent 69 years together. Wanda loved to fish, play poker, bridge, & golf, she was a cribbage champion and enjoyed bowling. She could sing like a nightingale and was often accompanied by Ernie Anderson. She enjoyed knitting & crocheting and made many blankets for local seniors, those who were homeless, veterans & babies. Wanda had an infectious laugh and wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed dearly by her family and friends. Memorial contributions can be made to Hospice of Mercy, in thanks for their gentle, loving care of Wanda. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
