Evelyn Berrell Edwards

June 18, 1941 - September 2, 2021

Born in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, Evelyn Berrell Edwards passed away at her home in Sandy, Utah on September 2, 2021. She died of lung cancer. She was the daughter of Charles I. and Vivian K. Berrell.

Evelyn is survived by the love of her life, best friend and husband of 54 years, John Edwards of Salt Lake City;

daughter Elizabeth Edwards and husband Dwight Tewes of Durango, CO; and her son, daughter-in-law and grandson of California.

Evelyn was accomplished at needlework, earned a Black Sash in tai chi and cherished a good book; loved traveling and was a devoted member of Chapter X, P.E.O. She was most certainly the best skier and golfer in the family!

A Celebration of Evelyn’s Life will take place on Saturday, October 2, 2021 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Shriners Hospital for Children, 1275 East Fairfax Road, Salt Lake City, Utah 84103

In Loving Memory

Dear John, Matt and Liz, For more than 27 years we have been neighbors, which for us has been a personal "Camelot."    We pray the joy and love you have experienced with Evelyn will continue to thrive within your hearts and memories, lifting and protecting each of you in the days ahead.

I have loved and admired Evelyn for years. I met her first in embroidery guild, then swans sampler stitches. Stitching with her was a pleasure. I loved her laugh and perspective on life. Her stitched ornaments  are beautiful and amazing. She will be missed by many of us.
