    Anne Edwards, age 87, formerly of Lincolnwood, IL passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 1, 2022. Consistently inspiring many through her literary work, she never hesitated to dedicate her books to loved ones including her husband, Chet Edwards,
    and her children: Jill, Todd, and Jeff. Anyone who met her could never forget her infectious smile and laughter (especially how excited she became when tasty treats were involved). Her heart always held a special place for her cats, creatures in need,
    and allowed her space to comfort those around her as a chaplain at her church. Most importantly, she bravely battled her cancer until the very end when her late husband, Paul Neimark, called her home. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure to
    meet her, alive in our thoughts and in the sight of a cardinal gracing our presence, until we meet again someday.
