After several moves through the years, the family settled in West Monroe in 1961 where Mrs. Edgar began working at the new Glenwood Hospital. She was a night supervisor for over 30 years. Mrs. Edgar loved to travel. She visited her sons and their families wherever they lived. She always looked forward to her trips to Edenton, NC to visit her family. For many years, she and her sisters traveled the U.S. and the world. She once said her favorite trip by far was to Israel to walk in Jesus' footsteps. Mrs. Edgar was a faithful and active member of McGuire Methodist Church until she moved to The Arbor and later to Avalon Place. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William B.
