It is with heavy
hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved husband,
father, brother and friend, David Stanley Edwards on Thursday, March
13, 2025 at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro, after a
courageous year-long battle with cancer.
Born to the late
Stanley and Marie (Davis) Edwards, David lived in Truro all his life.
Early on in his 20’s he became Foreman at Crossley Karastan
Carpets. He remained there for several years and then went on to work
for Nova Scotia Housing Authority until his retirement.
David enjoyed jigsaw
puzzles, Trivial Pursuit, gardening and watching the abundance of
wildlife in his backyard. He loved carpentry and could build anything
you wanted. He could also fix anything. Both
self-taught!
David is survived by
the love of his life, Glenda (Murray); daughter, Heidi (Scott)
Marshall; stepson, Aaron; sister, Mary (John) Lynds; sister-in-law,
Carolyn Edwards; several nieces and nephews; closest and dearest
friends, Gordon and Cathy Lewis. He will also be missed by his fur
babies, Cricket, Jack and Punky.
Besides his parents,
David was predeceased by his son, Vance; brother, Paul; sister, Nora
(Jim); in-laws, Fred and Muriel Murray.
David was a kind and
generous soul who would give the shirt off his back to help anyone. He
will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
The family would like
to thank the staff of VON and Home Care (especially Steve who made
David laugh on every visit!). Also, the staff of the Palliative Care
Unit who took excellent care of David during his various stays there
as well as the Pictou Rehab staff who enabled David to enjoy the last
few months of his life with a little more independence.
A celebration of
David’s life will be held 2-4 pm on Sunday March 23, 2025 at
Mattatall-Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro. A
private family interment will be held at a later date. If so desired,
donations to Colchester SPCA are welcomed.
