Damascus , AR
Ova Linn Edwards, 92, of Damascus, Arkansas, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, February 22, 2008.
She was born in Gravesville, Arkansas, to Earl and Iva Donahue on September 2, 1915.
She was preceded in death by two husbands: she was married to Hershell Linn, the father of her children, for of 35 years, and Lamon Edwards her husband of 30 years.
Three children also preceded her: an infant daughter, Rita Linn Bryant and a son, Bobby Dale Linn, her parents, Earl and Iva Donahue, two brothers, Willard Donahue and Wendell Donahue, one sister, Jewell Bradley.
Mrs. Edwards was a faithful member of Pine Mountain Baptist Church and was a homemaker. She was a wonderful cook and always had enough food on the stove to feed whoever might stop by. She loved Gospel music and never quite forgave the cable company for taking it off the cable network. She loved and cherished her family, especially the grandchildren and great grandchildren and always kept an old suitcase full of toys that each one of them loved to pull out and play with. She had a special place in her heart for people with disabilities and loved helping people and she was truly a role model for all of us to follow. During the last few years, her eyesight had failed and she kept up with all of her friends and family by telephone. One of her friends once said that the group of women who talked daily could spread the news faster than the internet.
She is survived by a sister, Dorothy Valentine; a brother, Wayne Donahue, both of whom live in California; by two children, a daughter Robbye Dace of El Paso, Arkansas; a son, Danny Linn of Conway and his wife Linda; a daughter-in-law, Kathy Linn of Conway; 4 step children, Kay Hiland of Damascus and her husband Jim, Mada Vaughan of Damascus, Ted Edwards of Damascus and his wife Gladys, Bill Edwards of Texarkana and his wife Jean.
