Obituary of Rodney L. Edgerly
Guilford – Rodney L. Edgerly, 84, passed away peacefully, with the love of his life and family by his side, August 12, 2020, at his home. Rod was born October 22, 1935, in Sangerville, son of the late Lloyd F. and Marion P. (Clark) Edgerly.
Rod graduated in 1954 from PCHS and married his high school sweetheart, Beverly (Tripp), on September 25, 1955. He worked at Goulette’s IGA, Haley Construction, and for 35 years selling Prudential Life Insurance. Rod was a Staff Sergeant with the Air National Guard, a member of the Big Pine Gun Club, belonged to the Mt. Kineo Lodge #109, and Friends of Community Fitness. After his retirement, Rod enjoyed going to Florida in the winter for 20 years, working the flea markets, selling on EBay, buying and selling at yard sales, hunting, and fishing. He was known by many for being the “Snickers” man; everywhere he went he gave people a Snickers bar. He was a very thoughtful and giving man.
Rod is survived by his loving wife, Beverly; son and daughter-in-law, Randy and Stacy Edgerly; daughter and son-in-law, Ronda and Shane Crouse; sister, Patricia Colbry; 7 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren.
