Edna Maynard Faulkner, 95, formerly of Chesapeake, OH, left her earthly family and joined her heavenly one on her 95th birthday on May 8, 2021 at St. Mary’s Medical Center, Huntington, WV. She was born on May 8, 1926 to the late Thomas and Sena Maynard. She was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years William F.

She is survived by her daughter Linda (Fred) Lester; granddaughter Natalie (William Wallace) Lester; grandson William (Amy) Lester; great-grandchildren Joey and Emma Lester; step great-grandchildren Max and Sam Wallace and Emily (Jared) Holley; three sisters Flo Bohannan, Roberta “Bobbie” (George) Stone, and Virginia “Nell” (Ray) Roach; and two sisters-in-law Flora “Skipper” Maynard and Allene Maynard. Edna graduated from Chesapeake High School in 1942 and worked at the Huntington Dress Factory before moving to Florida in 1969. She lived in Florida and then Alabama before retiring and moving back to Florida in 1987. She spent the last 21 years in Daytona Beach at her home at the Aliki Condominium, where she was near her sisters Bobbie and Nell. She enjoyed her time on the beach reading, playing cards with her sisters, dining out (especially at her favorite restaurant Dustin’s Barb-B-Q), and having frequent visits from her daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. She recently returned to Ohio to spend her final days back home with her loved ones. Private Family Services will be held.
