Landy Edwards

Mr. Landy Edwards transitioned to his heavenly home on Friday, July 16, 2021. He was born in Bennettsville, South Carolina on April 24, 1939 to Julia McCoy Edwards.

A resident of High Point for many years, he was a faithful and devoted member of Temple Memorial Baptist Church where he sang with the Gospel and Men’s Choirs.  Following many years of labor, he retired from Leggett & Platt, Inc., where he was employed as a machinist.

In his leisure, he enjoyed fishing and playing the guitar. Landy cherished the times he spent going shopping with his late wife, Aunita, whom he loved dearly.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Aunita Ingram Edwards; mother, Julia McCoy Edwards; stepdad, Zannie Edwards, two brothers, James Edwards, and Cecil Edwards; two sisters, Pearl Edwards and Earlene Edwards.

Workman both of Greensboro, NC; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends including close friends, Frank Dixon, Steve Walls and Deacon Thomas Foust.
