Jackie Mae Edwards

Jackie Mae Hollis Edwards, 78, of Lithia Springs, passed away on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. She was born on June 22, 1946 in Lithia Springs to the late Ruby Gilstrap Hollis and Jack Hollis. Jackie's life was filled with kindness and joy.

Jackie loved her career, working in food service for over 30 years at schools and churches. She was known for her love of singing, cooking and baking, painting, arts and crafts and sewing. Jackie used her sewing talents as a way to share gifts with others, as she would sew baby blankets for expectant mothers in her community and gift them with a teddy bear. She was a wonderful and easygoing person who loved everyone - she never seemed to get mad and always maintained a gentle demeanor. She was compassionate and faithful throughout her life's journey. Mrs. Jackie will be dearly missed by all who were lucky enough to know her.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her Daughter, Wanda Susan Edwards; brothers, Paul Hollis, Harry Hollis, Douglas Hollis, David Watts, Rodney Watts, and Billy Hollis; and sisters, Thelma Brown, Glenda, and Beverly Holland.

She is survived by her loving husband of over 62 years, Mr. Larry D. Edwards, Sr.; sons, Larry Edwards, Jr. and Robert Edwards; sister, Ruby Jean Waller; brother, Calvin Watts and several nieces and nephews.
