Professionally, she has been active in real estate. Mrs. Edwards says, “Northwood University is truly an outstanding institution of higher learning. Coupled with its strong academic program, with accent on our free enterprise economic system, is the importance of arts appreciation. I am particularly impressed with the wholesome moral climate that prevails there and I never fail to be impressed with the quality of the student body.” Mrs. Edwards esteem for Northwood is warmly reciprocated.
