Margaret Edwards Obituary

Margaret Louise Edwards (nee Page), beloved mother, went home to be with her Savior and Lord on Saturday, October 31, 2005. Peg, as she liked to be called, was born in Denver in 1921 and was a lifelong resident of Colorado Springs. She was predeceased by her first husband, Wilbert Edwin Castner in 1962, and her second husband, William Dean Edwards in February 2005. Peg and Dean were promoters of old time square dancing for many years in Colorado Springs. Peg used her amazing creativity to embroider pictures and to sew old time square dance dresses, along with other artistic projects. She loved fishing and spending time in the mountains. She will be deeply missed by her children: Larry Castner (North Carolina), Sharon Gasek (Nova Scotia), Patricia Benson (Black Forest) and Margaret Hoadley (Colorado Springs); eight grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. A Memorial Service will be at Alterra Wynwood, 2780 Vickers Drive, 10:30 a.m., Friday, November 4, 2005. Her family wishes to express their gratitude for the loving care and kindness given her by the staff of Alterra this past year. Peg loved them as much as they loved her.

Mr. Edwards (Dean):



I am really sorry for your loss but always remember the good times you had together and keep her memory in your heart and when you see others enjoying the things she loved to do (like square dancing). You both were really great teachers of the art of old time traditional square dancing. I really admired both of your styles of teaching and dancing. God bless you and your family at this time of loss.
