Sonya Edwards, cherished mother, sister, grandmother, and friend, peacefully passed away on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, in Fairdale, Kentucky. Born on July 27, 1967, in Charleston, West Virginia, to Ronald and Gwendolyn (Doyle) Edwards, Sonya’s life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, kindness, and joy.

Sonya had a heart of gold and a vibrant, social spirit that touched everyone she met. She was deeply devoted to her family, from whom she drew great happiness. Her passions included crafting and boating, activities through which she shared treasured moments with those she loved.
