Tupelo – Carol Jean Edwards, 68, passed away on Wednesday, June 10, 2020, at North Mississippi Medical Center, Tupelo. Born on January 3, 1952, she was a daughter of the late James Herman Edwards and Jean Glasgow Edwards.

An independent and driven woman, she worked for Phillips Manufacturing (formerly Day Brite) for many years until retirement. She then worked part time for the Daily Journal for several years in the obituary department. She had a great work ethic and was proud of her financial independence.
