Charmaine Roshondalar Edwards was born February 4, 1980, to James Edwards Sr. and Barbara Ann Edwards of Albany, Georgia. She gave her life to Christ at an early age at Thankful Missionary Baptist Church of Newton, Georgia. She used her voice to give God praise in the youth choir.

Charmaine was educated in the Dougherty County School System at Dougherty Comprehensive High School. However, she chose to receive her High School Diploma in the private sector at Darsey Private School. Charmaine loved working with children and decided to further her education in that area. After much diligence and dedication, she received her Technical Diploma in Early Childhood Education from Albany Technical College in Albany, Georgia. She later pursued a career as a paraprofessional at Jackson Heights Elementary School, now known as Robert Harvey Elementary School, in Albany, GA.

Charmaine was beautiful, soft-spoken, and she showed kindness to everyone she met. She was always respectful, but she got her point across when she needed to. It wasn't out of the ordinary for you to receive a random text from her. She would always call to check on you, even if she wasn't feeling her best.

On the morning of March 26, 2024, God saw that Charmaine was tired, so He led her through the gates of Heaven to her eternal rest. Charmaine was a bright light on Earth, but she is shining even brighter in Heaven. There won't be a day that goes by that she is not missed
dearly.

Charmaine was preceded in death by: maternal grandmother; Evelyn H. Duncan, aunt; Virginia Duncan, uncle; Ricky Duncan, paternal grandparents; Will & Daisy Bell Edwards, aunt; Daisy Edwards, aunt; Easter Dickerson, and aunt; Johnnie Pearl Hope.
