Edith Fails

On October 29, 2022, Edith "Edie" Fails joined her Lord and Savior in heaven.

Edie was the widow of Herman "Herk" Fails, the love of her life and husband of 50 years. She was born on December 4, 1932, in West Chester, PA, the daughter of Elizabeth and George Earnshaw. She graduated from Scott High School in Coatesville, PA.

Herk's service in the United States Air Force granted them the opportunity to live in and visit many parts of the world including Taiwan, Germany, Canada, and others.

After his retirement, they settled in Chester, VA, where Edie worked as an Assistant Branch Manager of Pioneer Federal Savings and Loan for fourteen years. She enjoyed interacting with her customers, easily making friends. Edie liked sewing, cooking, golfing, and especially spending time with family and friends. She was a long-time member of Chester United Methodist Church, where she served on the greeting committee, prayer shawl group, sang and traveled with The Joy Singers.

Surviving are her loving children, Beverly (Ray) Trevillian of Chester, VA, and Randy (Julie) Fails of Florence, SC; grandchildren, Kelly (Derek) Overstreet, Dustin (Ellen) Fails, Kim (Daniel) Sink, Spencer Fails; seven great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Elwood, George, Leigh, and Chuck.

The funeral will be held at Chester United Methodist Church, 12132 Percival Street, Chester, VA on Thursday, November 3, 2022, at 11:00 AM. The Reverend Nathan Decker will officiate the service with burial to follow at Sunset Memorial Park.
