Diane M Edwards

Diane M Edwards, 74, of Cheney, went to be with our Heavenly Father on Dec. 5, 2015.

Diane was born April 11, 1941 in Oakland, Calif., to Lucans and Thelma (Keven) Parsons; she married Walter (Gene) Edwards Dec. 26, 1956 in Mount Vernon, Wash.

Diane was a homemaker with several intermittent part-time jobs throughout her life. Her priority was her family, especially all the babies. She was an amazing cook with the ability to put dishes together without a recipe. Canning vegetables, fruits and sauces to provide food throughout the year was a task she accepted. Sewing is another talent she used to provide clothing and costumes for her children.

Diane was a member of Cheney Rodeo Association, Beta Sigma Phi and Red Hat Society.

She is survived by her husband, children: Bob (Donna) Edwards, Rick (Judi) Edwards, Cynthia Edwards-Curry, Regina (Bill), Doremus Ken (Tara) Edwards, Keven (Debbie) Edwards and Kelly (Kevin) McInroy-Edwards as well as 21 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Brothers: Dale Parsons and Ken Parsons. Sisters: Darlene Senatore and Peggy Andrews. Brother in-laws: Ray (Elma) Edwards, Terry (Nancy) Moe and Larry (Donna) Moe. Numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceding her in death were her father, mother, step-mother, step-father, her brother Tom, sister Pat and sister Sharon.

A funeral mass will be held at 11 a.m. on Dec. 16, at St. Rose Lima Church in Cheney. Burial will be at Holy Cross Cemetery in Spokane. Visit the online guestbook at cheneyfuneral.com.
