EDWARDS, Jay L.

Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Published Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - Jay L. Edwards 68, went to our Lord March 11, 2011. He was one of three children born to Larry and Billie Edwards in Tacoma, Wash. Jay is survived by his beloved wife, Richa Edwards, of Lake Havasu City; son, Arron Edwards, of Lake Havasu City; daughters, Robin Edwards, of Christmas Valley, Ore., and Renee Edwards, of Mariposa, Calif.; brother, Brian Edwards, of Tucson; sister Suzie McMinn, of Auburn, Calif.; grandchildren Keenan and Grace Edwards, and Jonathan and Miranda Morehouse; and one great-grandchild. Growing up in Southern California, Jay fell in love with his trips to Lake Havasu City. An avid boater and water-skier, he decided to make Lake Havasu his home in 1978. He worked for Mission Linen for 19 years before deciding to retire. Unable to retire for long, he opened a store of working class clothes, which he enjoyed for eight years, before becoming retired again. He made many friends in Lake Havasu City, but his greatest pleasure was spending time with his family. His sharp wit and humor attracted all those near him. He will be missed by all that knew him. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to New Hope Hospice, 500 N. Lake Havasu Ave. Ste. B106, Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403.
