Kathleen Edwards aka Joanne Kathleen - August 1, 1952 - March 24, 2022

Kathleen Edwards (Joanne) passed away on March 24, 2022 in Ogden, UT.  She was born on August 1, 1952, in Durango, Colorado to the late Richard and Vera Edwards.

She married Robert DeVault after high school.  She later married Steven M. Wallace, and finally had a brief marriage to George Zinn.

She spent most of her life in Colorado, and Utah and later years in Roy, Utah.  Kathleen was a bright student and talented musician whose life was forever altered by schizophrenia just as she was entering adulthood.  She was 69 years old and needed to be free from fear and pain.

She was preceded in death by her parents;  brother Duane Harold Edwards, many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

She is survived by her sister, Donna Edwards and sister-in-law Ruth Edwards, four neices, several cousins and Dave Christensen - a great friend who helped her navigate her diffcult life during her last years.

Per her wishes no service will be scheduled. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial contribution be made to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (including schizophrenia) at https;//www.nami.org/About-NAMI/Donate-to-NAMI

I remeber this sweet shy girl being in Acapella Choir with me.  Beautiful voice and so pretty.

I'm sorry to hear how hard her life has been!

Rest in peace, Joanne (Kathleen_

JoAnn was one of my close friends in high school. We spent some happy times together. Unfortunately, we last track after graduation. She's well again now and at peace, reunited with dear family members.
