Surviving are two sons and daughters-in-law, Gary & Chris Edgerly of Lakeview, and Craig & Edna Edgerly of Loxley, Alabama;  seven grandchildren;  fifteen great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

Visitation with the family is from 2-5 p.m. on Sunday, April 14, 2019 at the Lakeview United Church of Christ, 115 Fifth Street at the corner of S. Lincoln Avenue, Lakeview, where private family services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, April 15th.  Burial will take place later at Riverside Cemetery in Langston.
