Marian Edwardson

Marion Bowers Edwardson passed over February 12, 2012. Born and raised in Pottsville, PA where she met and married Arnold Edwardson, her husband of over 60 years. They were stationed at Eglin Air Force Base during WWII and, after the war, moved back to Pottsville, PA (where she and her husband welcomed their sons Dennis and Jack into the world). They later moved to Greenport, NY (where their daughter Crystal was born) and finally to Lantana, FL, where she and her husband would eventually call home for almost 50 years. Marion and Arnold made numerous trips to Arnold's family home on the western coast of Norway. They also became very active in the Sons of Norway Palm Coast Lodge. A faithful Lutheran throughout her life, Marion was very active in the Living Word Lutheran Church of Lantana and enjoyed participating in fundraisers. It brought her joy to share her love of baking and needlework with family and friends. Along with her religious faith and husband, her children, grandchildren, great grandchild and goddaughter were the loves of her life. She enjoyed and took great pride in their accomplishments, and shared the challenges and sorrows her family experienced over the years. She is survived by her grieving family and friends: son Dennis Edwardson and his wife Janet, son John (Jack) Edwardson and his wife Joan, daughter Crystal Edwardson Wolfe and her husband Charles (Greg), grandchildren Michael Edwardson, Karin Edwardson and her fiancée Alexa, Kristin Edwardson, Rosie Edwardson Kempf and her husband Roy, Grace Edwardson, Emma Edwardson, Ashley Wolfe, great grandchild Ryker Kempf, goddaughter Deby Bowers Somers and her husband Dennis, as well as many extended family members and friends too numerous to mention. She will be missed by us all, but is welcomed home by her husband Arnold and her grandchild Abby Edwardson.

The family will receive their friends at the funeral from 11:30 AM until the service time at 12:00 Noon on Wednesday February 15th. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Dorsey-E. Earl Smith Memory Gardens Funeral Home, 3041 Kirk Road, Lake Worth, FL 33461.
