Marcella Ann (Reddick) Edwards was received into the arms of her Savior on Friday, January 3, 2025, in Franklin, Ind. She passed peacefully, surrounded by her family.

Marcella was born on July 26, 1933, in Crawfordsville, Ind., to Clarence and Edna Reddick. She grew up in Sheridan, where she graduated from high school in 1951. She married John K. Edwards on February 3, 1956. He lovingly survives.

Marcella proudly worked for Western Electric/AT&T in Indianapolis for 29 years, retiring in 1985. She was an active volunteer of the AT&T Pioneers Club through the mid-1990s. She was also a member of Post Road Christian Church in Indianapolis where she served the church in many ways for over 20 years.

Marcella loved gathering with her family for holiday and special occasions where she would serve her famous homemade noodles and other family favorites. Marcella was an avid sports fan, especially basketball and Colts football. She rarely missed a Colts game. She loved to reminisce about her travels with her husband and children over the years. She was never one to sit still and always kept herself busy taking care of her family.
