Carrie Edwards

01/20/1960 – 02/26/2024 

Carrie Frances Bonior Edwards, 64, passed away in her Edmonds, Washington home on Feb. 26, 2024, after a two-year battle with ovarian cancer.

Carrie was born on Jan. 20, 1960, in Chicago, Illinois to Caroline Gunderson and Eugene Bonior. Her family moved to Carpinteria in 1962 when she was two years old. There she attended Saint Joseph Church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Carpinteria High School. 

Growing up, she was involved in many extracurriculars. She was a Girl Scout Brownie, a majorette, a junior lifeguard and was very athletic. In high school, she worked at her father’s restaurant, Gene’os Kitchen on Coast Village Road in Montecito. 

After graduating early from Carpinteria High School, she received her associate degree and became a court reporter. In the fall of 1981, she moved to Seattle, Washington. There, she continued her court reporting career and traveled all over the country for depositions. 

Carrie raised two children and eventually retired from court reporting to be a full-time mom after her youngest was born in 1998. 

Carrie enjoyed live music, traveling and cruises, Dodgers baseball, riding her bike, walking her dog, tending her flowers in the summertime and catching up with friends.

She is survived by her husband Mark Edwards, her children Samantha and Scott Edwards and her brother Thomas Bonior. 

A private celebration of life will be held at the Edmonds Yacht Club on May 16, 2024. Her ashes will be spread at several of her favorite locations.
