Edward Daniel Lawler

Edward Daniel Lawler, loving husband of Nancy Christina Darr Lawler for 52 years, went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, November 13, 2018. Ed was born on June 17, 1940 at the foot of a mountain in Selma, VA, just across the river from Clifton Forge, to the late Leo Gaston Lawler and Hazel Marie (Potter) Lawler. In addition to his wife and their dog, Zoe, he is survived by a son, Matthew William Lawler, his wife Beth and their children, Kinsley and Garrett of Staunton; a daughter, Jill Lorraine Lawler and her children Alex and Dylan of Salt Lake City; a sister, Joan Floyd and her husband E.G. and their daughter Laura Ashley of Richmond; an aunt, Edith Greaner of Richmond; and an uncle, Robert Foster of Mineral. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.  Ed spent his career as an air conditioning and refrigeration engineer for York and Westinghouse (and its successors).  He was a certified scuba diving instructor and personal trainer, and taught air conditioning and refrigeration at Blue Ridge Community College for a while. He enjoyed scuba diving, hiking, bird watching and exercising to stay in shape.  In his latter years, he also enjoyed volunteering at the YMCA, assisting with their Neuro Wellness Program, an exercise program for stroke survivors and individuals with Parkinson’s or other neuro-muscular problems. Those desiring may make memorial donations in Ed’s memory to the Staunton-Augusta Rescue Squad, 1601 N Coalter St, Staunton, VA, 24401 or the Staunton-Augusta YMCA, 708 N Coalter St, Staunton, VA, 24401 for use in their Neuro Wellness Program. A Memorial Service will be conducted 11 a.m. Saturday, November 17, 2018 in the Henry Funeral Home Chapel by the Rev. Wade Munford and Rev. Norman Ramsey. Burial will be private in Thornrose Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service in the funeral home.
