Mamie Edwards was born November 2, 1930, to the parentage of the late Raso Wade and Bennie Dixon Wade in Biardstown, TX. She attended Gibbons High School. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Hetrolia Edwards, and sons, Charles and Hetrolia Edwards Jr.

Mamie was a faithful member of the Greater Mt. Carmel Baptist Church until her health failed. She loved God, her family and her church family very dearly. She enjoyed reading her Bible, doing word searches, working in her flowerbed, watching the Dallas Cowboys play football, and attending her grandchildren and great grandchildren’s ball games. She was known for awaking early and starting her day. Each morning she’d pray, bathe and dress to impress, with her cap/hat, makeup, jewelry and matching outfit and shoes.

She was a very caring individual, who even in her sickness, was constantly concerned about the wellbeing of others.

Mamie entered eternal rest on June 13, 2022, surrounded by her loving family.

She leaves to cherish her memories: daughters, Bennie(Rev. Billy) Shepherd, and Joyce Milton of Paris, Texas; Maxine(Larry) Ellis of Brookston, Texas; Kimberly Battle of St. Peter’s Missouri; and Stephanie Edwards of San Antonio, Texas; sons, Robert(Cora) Edwards of Tyler, Texas; JB(Mary) Edwards of Longview, Texas; Fred(Debra) Edwards of Paris, Texas; and James ”Mickey” Edwards of Hugo, Oklahoma; sister, Margaret Wade of Paris, Texas, 22 grandchildren; 43 great grandchildren ; a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
