Troy Mac Edwards

Troy Mac Edwards, 81, of Collinsville, Virginia, passed away on Monday, June 22, 2026, at Blue Ridge Therapy Connection in Stuart, Virginia. He was born on February 26, 1945, in Virginia to the late Izer Major Edwards and Elva Lillian Spencer Edwards.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ethel Elizabeth Hawks Edwards; his son, Troy Mac Edwards, Jr.; his sister, Betty Rae Hawks; and his brothers, Elwood Edwards, Elijah Edwards, and Jesse Edwards.

Troy was of the Baptist faith. He retired after many dedicated years at Bassett Furniture Company. He was a man of simple pleasures who found joy in working on the farm, tending gardens, caring for animals, and spending time outdoors. A gifted storyteller and songwriter, Troy enjoyed writing and expressing himself through words and music. He also enjoyed singing and preaching. Many who knew him will fondly remember his familiar parting words, “See ya later.”

He is survived by his daughter, Nancy J. Hooker (Pastor Paul Hooker); his sister, Pearlie Mae Hutchens; his brothers, Matt Edwards and Arwood “Woody” Edwards; his grandchildren, Ashley Nicole Hodges, Alysha Louise Edwards, and Paul “Bubba” Hooker, Jr.; along with several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will forever treasure his memory.

Although services will be private, the family extends their sincere appreciation for the love and kindness that has been shown during their time of grief.
