December 31, 2012 at Kilpatrick Funeral Home, Monroe on Lamy Lane with

Mrs. Edgar was born March 16, 1922 in Edenton, North Carolina to Maggie and 
Will Sutton and went to heaven Friday, December 28, 2012 after a long illness. 
She graduated from nursing School in 1942 and began her nursing career of 49 
years. On November 10, 1944, Mary Sutton married Bill Edgar from Louisiana, 
who was stationed in North Carolina in the Marines. Their sons Bill Edgar, 
Jr., (1946), and David (1947) were born in North Carolina. After the family 
moved to Louisiana, Richard was born in 1949. After several moves through the 
years, the family settled in West Monroe in 1961 where Mrs. Edgar began 
working at the new Glenwood Hospital. She was a night supervisor for over 30 
years.

Mrs. Edgar loved to travel. She visited her sons and their families wherever 
they lived. She always looked forward to her trips to Edenton, NC to visit her 
family. For many years, she and her sisters traveled the U.S. and the world. 
She once said her favorite trip by far was to Israel to walk in Jesus' 
footsteps. Mrs. Edgar was a faithful and active member of McGuire Methodist 
Church until she moved to The Arbor and later to Avalon Place.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William B. Edgar, Sr. in 
1967, her parents, and her sister, Gwendolyn "Pete" Smith.

Mrs. Edgar is survived by one sister, Doris Hughes; one brother, Leonard and 
wife Martha; three sons, Bill, Jr. and wife Sandy, David and wife Alaine, and 
Richard and wife Dana; four grandsons, David, Brad, Mike and wife Kacey, and 
Dan and wife Lori; nine great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter.

Grandsons and great-grandsons will serve as pallbearers.

Mary Lee, your legacy lives on in your sons, grandchildren, great-
grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. You will forever be in our 
hearts.
