Whenever you are missing me, look up to heaven’s skies. I’m the twinkle in the stars. I’m the sunset and the sunrise. I’m the raindrop and the rainbow. I’m the oceans waves of blue, so everywhere you go you’ll know.. I live on, loving you 💜
It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Waydee Elizabeth Edwards, a cherished and delightful child, whose journey on earth ended much too soon on April 22, 2024. Born on May 21, 2018, in Locust Fork, Alabama, Waydee's brief five years were a testament to the joy and love she brought into the lives of all who knew her.
Waydee was a bright and eager kindergartener at Locust Fork Elementary, where her enthusiasm for learning and playing was evident to all. She embraced life with a passion that was inspiring, whether she was on the softball field, cheerleading with friends, or playing with her cat "Foggee" and her dog "Rockee", exploring her fascination with dinosaurs, or imagining herself as a mermaid on family beach trips.
Her visits to Disney World were moments of pure happiness, as she reveled in the magic that seemed to mirror her own spirited personality. Waydee's love for her family knew no bounds, and she was especially close to her big sister, Mylee, with whom she shared countless cherished moments.
Left to cherish Waydee's memory, mom Karley Edwards (Jared Hobson), sister Mylee Edwards, maternal grandparents Dwayne and Lori Edwards, grandparents Arnold and Debra Keith and Ethan and Tera Buzzard, great- grandmother Margaret "Peggy" Whitt, aunts and uncles Wade Edwards (Sunni), Kayla Turner (Charlie) and Kourtney Evans (Chase), cousins Tyler, Kash, Brynlee, Hadlyn, Graycee, and Mia, and with a host of additional aunts, uncles and cousins and friends. Each of these individuals played a special role in Waydee's life, and their memories of her will be treasured forever.
Visitation for Waydee was held on Friday, April 26, 2024, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Blount County/Cleveland Funeral Home in Cleveland, AL. This was followed by a private graveside service at 4:30 pm in Hopewell Cemetery.
Waydee's presence in our lives was a gift—a bright, shining light that, though extinguished too soon, will continue to glow in the hearts of those who loved and knew her.
