Elsie Regina Edwards, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on August 14, 2019.
She was born in Dawson, New Mexico to Jose & Alvina Rodriguez. She was raised by Jose & Lupe Rodriguez.
She was married to Edgar Edwards, for a loving 51 years, before he passed away. They had met while he was stationed at Camp Fort Carson. He a soldier and she a caregiver there. He proposed to her on the chapel steps. They married three months after they had met.
Elsie was preceded in death by her husband, Edgar; 3 sons, Joseph, David and Roy; daughter, Mary Catherine; her granddaughter, Anita; six sisters, Julia, Jessie, Tommy, Tillie, Erlinda, Vickie; and five brothers, Sammie, Sulley, Benny, Felix, and Ben.

Elsie had a full life and enjoyed time with her beloved family. Her daughter who she referred to as "her Dolly" Charlotte was always running her to every family event they could possibly attend. Charlotte was her personal angel and made her life as comfortable and fulfilling as she could.
