SALINA - Beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Emma Yvonne Levie Edwards, 71, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday morning, May 7, 2000, following a fight with colon cancer.
Yvonne was born in Venice Jan. 25, 1929, to Clarence and Emma Miller Levie. She lived in Sevier County during her childhood, but her family moved during high school and she graduated from Davis High School in Kaysville in 1947.
She married Gene Edwards in the Salt Lake LDS Temple Nov. 25, 1952. They have three children. Yvonne and Gene lived for many years in Arizona and Texas before retiring in 1993 in Salina.
Yvonne was always active in the LDS Church and has served as a temple worker in the Dallas, Texas and Manti LDS temples, and in such callings as Primary president, Relief Society counselor and visiting teacher.
But her great love was always the Boy Scouts. She spent many years in Arizona, Texas and Utah working as den mother with the Cub Scouts and Webelos. Even as a grandmother, she still had her "boys" who came every week to their meetings.
Quiet and reserved to those who didn't know her well, she opened up around the scout and the children in Primary and they felt her love.
Yvonne was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Helen.
She is survived by her husband, Gene B. Edwards, Salina; daughter (Emma) Jean (Michael) Newman, Bountiful; Rodney (Michelle), Queens Creek, Ariz.; Brian (Susan), Richfield; seven grandchildren; seven step-grandchildren; brother, Arden Levie, Cedar City.
