PPP stalwart Shirley Edwards passes on
Shirley Edwards
Kaieteur News – Former Member of Parliament and PPP longstanding member, Shirley Edwards has died, the party announced on Wednesday. In a statement the PPP said Edwards was a fearless patriot, stalwart and a true daughter of Guyana. “Shirley joined the PPP at just 22 years old and remained a committed member for over six decades. She stood firm in defence of her party and country through some of the most difficult chapters in our history,” the PPP said.
According to the PPP Edwards’ courage, discipline, and unshakeable belief in the PPP’s founding principles of unity, equality, and democracy made her a towering figure in our movement. “She was a symbol of resistance, loyalty, and hope for generations of Guyanese. Shirley worked tirelessly in service of ordinary citizens and stood as a living example of the strength and resilience of our women comrades in the struggle for a free and just society.
On behalf of the People’s Progressive Party, I extend heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her. Shirley’s legacy will continue to guide and inspire us as we build on the foundation she helped to lay. May her soul rest in eternal peace.” The statement concluded.
