Holly Edwards was a force-both gentle and unyielding-who forever shaped Charlottesville’s community. Even now, nearly a decade since her passing, the ripple effects of her civic-centered work as a nurse, City Councilor, and community advocate are felt in both big and small ways. Holly was not just a public figure; she was a servant leader who showed up in people’s lives, day in and day out, with compassion, wisdom, and quiet strength.
