Edward Lee Wells, age 70, peacefully succumbed to an expeditious bout with cancer in the early morning hours on October 29, 2021.

Eddie and his family attend Hillcrest Baptist Church. The church cart ministry provided Eddie with years of loving friendships. His senior adult Men’s Sunday School Class provided Eddie and Debra with prayers and thoughtfulness during his short illness that cannot be measured in words or deeds.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Vernon Wells and Odie Atkinson Wells.
