Nora Leigh Edwards, born on June 3, 1966, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and daughter, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2024.
Nora was a devout Christian, finding solace and strength in her faith. She was a talented crocheter, often making scarves for her loved ones. Nora loved good food and cherished family gatherings with her loved ones. She had a special place in her heart for dogs, finding companionship and unconditional love in their furry presence.
Nora was a proud Buckhorn High School alumni, class of 1984. She was a cheerleader, and it was during her time there that she met the love of her life, the late Gary Edwards. Even though Gary’s life was cut short only two years after they were married, Nora remained steadfast in her love for him for the rest of her life. Even in death, she wished to be laid to rest beside him, forever and eternally by his side.
Nora leaves behind her daughter, Emma, and her beloved grandchildren, Louisa, Shiloh, and Maximus. She is also survived by her brother, Jody, and her loving parents, Susie and Edward. Her memory will live on in their hearts, forever reminding them of her love, kindness, and unwavering support.
