Tawnya Louise Edge, 49, of Preston, Missouri passed away peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by loved ones on August 23, 2020, after battling cancer since December 2019. She was born in Kansas City, Missouri to James Lee and Cheri DeAun (Bailey) Edge on April 12, 1971. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Dr. Carl D. and Mildred Louise (Button) Bailey, Clyde Edge, Jr. and Martha Jean (King) Edge, uncles John William Edge and Major Carl D. Bailey, Jr. After being raised in the Kansas City area, where she graduated in 1989 from Blue Springs Senior High then moved to Hickory County, Missouri where she remained until her passing. Survivors include her parents, James Lee and Cheri DeAun Edge, Pittsburg, Missouri; two sons and daughter-in-law, Johnnie and Shelby Enyeart, Urbana, Missouri; and Tanner Kennedy, Preston, Missouri; one brother James Anthony (Tony) Edge, Blue Springs, Missouri; aunt Vicki (Bailey) Jones, Hot Springs, Missouri; uncle and aunt, Joe and Polly Edge, Hermitage, Missouri and several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. (many of whom were more like family). Before becoming ill, Tawnya spent her career in bookkeeping/accounting. She spent several years at Mid-Missouri Bank, then worked for Ozark Community Health until her cancer was diagnosed. Tawnya loved many things but those that come to mind are family, friends, fur babies, Pepper, Daisey and Ellie, along with reading, road trips, the beaches in Florida, float trips, poker runs and the girl’s weekends to name a few. We will miss her unique laughter, her big heart, and her vivacious personality. At Tawnya’s request, a Memorial Visitation is scheduled at 1:30 and Celebration of Life at 2:30 on August 29, 2020 at the Fraternal Order of Eagles in Louisburg, Missouri with Pastor Jeff Cole presiding. In lieu of flowers, Tawnya has also requested that memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
