Nancy Edwards Passes
Wednesday, June 24, 2015
Beloved Dabora family member, Nancy Potts Edwards passed away on Tuesday, June 23 after an extended battle with breast cancer. Nancy was the longtime general manager of World Champion Horse Equipment and along with her late husband Larry Edwards, were American Saddlebred enthusiasts. Nancy will be remembered for her kind nature, generous spirit and wonderful laugh. She gathered friends as easily as she gathered strawberries and blueberries from her beloved Valley Home Farm in Wartrace, Tenn.
Nancy was preceded in death by her husband Larry Edwards and her parents. She was fiercely loved and cared for by her family and her legions of friends. True to Nancy’s wishes, there will be no memorial service, but a full tribute to her will appear in the Report in a coming issue. She will never be forgotten.
