Kay Sweatman Edwards

Kay Sweatman Edwards was born on March 11, 1941 in Pocahontas, Tennessee, the daughter of the late Clarence Lee "Jack" and Lydia May Lawson Sweatman.

On October 6, 1959 she was united in marriage to James William Edwards, who preceded his wife in death on October 18, 1997.

Mrs. Edwards was the kindest, most loving, and generous person you could know. She was a member of Life Tabernacle Church in Selmer, Tennessee. She loved Jesus, her church, and her family more than anything. She spent most of her life caring for not only her kids, but any child that needed it. She opened her heart and home to many and never expected anything in return. She enjoyed time in the yard with her flowers, sitting in her porch swing, and enjoying the simpler things in life.

Kay Sweatman Edwards departed this life on October 15, 2021 in Michie, Tennessee at the age of 80 years, 6 months, and 20 days.

She is survived by her daughters, Judy Edwards Pannell and her husband James and Elizabeth Wilbanks and her husband Jamie, all of Michie, Tennessee; son, Andy Edwards of Michie, Tennessee; brothers, Elmer Ray Sweatman and Frankie Glen Sweatman; sisters, Janice Davis, Alice Blackwell, Nellie Ruth Lacourse, and Margaret Newman; grandchildren, Jamie Sean Wilbanks and his wife Katie, Matthew Wilbanks, Gabriella Wilbanks, and Aubrey Edwards; and great grandchildren, Sadie Wilbanks and Emmie Wilbanks.

In addition to her parents and husband, Kay was preceded in death by her son, William Dale Edwards; brothers, Lester Orlando Sweatman, Arthur Wesley Sweatman, and Henry Lee Sweatman; and sisters, Mary Francis Harrison, Natha Fay Parmley, and Merline McCain.
