Doris Louise Edwards

Doris Louise Edwards (née Zimmerman), 96, went home to the Lord on March 5, 2026.

Doris was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on December 30, 1929, where she lived most of her life.

Doris’s Christian values showed through as she loved and accepted everyone as family. All were welcome at the dinner table and the house was a neighborhood meeting place. She laughed and loved to play cards with her 6 brothers. There was never a dull moment around the Edwards’ home. Doris left a legacy of what family means - acceptance, commitment, love and faith.
