Obituary
Jason here…I cannot thank you all enough for your support over the years and especially during this difficult time. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and blown away by how you’ve so lavished us with gifts over the years and especially recently. For those seeking to offer something as an expression of love, I’d point you to three of the charitable organizations below that were dear to Lindsey’s heart, that we support. From this page, you can click on the charity names below and link to their respective websites. Two are religious by nature, one working with kids from our elementary school and in the neighborhood surrounding our church, the other runs the rescue mission in Greenville and a children’s home among other great services, and the other is a fund to support retail workers with local businesses in Greenville with a heart for supporting their staff in ways beyond the norm. All three do incredible work in their respective spheres.
It is with deep sadness and much love that we celebrate the life of Lindsey Ann Wright Edwards, wife of Jason Edwards. Lindsey, 40, battled lung cancer for three years before passing away on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, with her loving family at her side.
Born in Augusta, GA, Lindsey was the second daughter of Bill and Beverly Wright. Lindsey grew up in Evans, GA before attending Furman University. She and Jason met at Furman, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Math in 2005. Following Furman, they spent some time in Clemson, SC, Nashville, TN, and Jackson, MS before settling in Greenville, SC. Around Greenville, Lindsey could be frequently seen with her four boys at Stone Academy or a local soccer field. She was a faithful member of Grace and Peace Presbyterian Church. From a young age, Lindsey’s faith in Jesus was an integral part of her life. Her faith was her primary hope and comfort, especially during the final hard years.
Lindsey’s favorite activity in life was being a loving mom of her four boys, Wright, Thomas, Henry, and Graham. Lindsey is also survived by her three sisters, Kate Key (Sims), Melissa Wright, Virginia Lacher (Rob) and her brother, Will Wright (Jessa), as well as her in-laws, James and Karen Edwards, and sister-in-law, Jane Edwards.
The family will receive friends on Friday, December 16, 2022 from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at Thomas McAfee Funeral Home (639 N. Main St., Greenville, S.C.). The funeral service will be on Saturday, December 17, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. at Downtown Presbyterian Church. The burial service will be private.
The family wishes to send a special thank you to their Grace & Peace Presbyterian Church family for their extraordinary love and care over the past 3 years.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Lindsey’s honor can be made to Poe Mill Achievement Center (PMAC), Miracle Hill Ministries, and/or the Bridge Fund Collective.
