Our Nurse
Lonna Edwards, RN
I was born on a military base in South Carolina (hence the accent) but grew up in Odessa Texas where I went to nursing school and got my start in neonatal intensive care. However, I found my true love in nursing school where I worked for 8 years before moving to Midlothian. I am now in my 14th year and still going. Strong!
I have been married to Jeff for 34 years and am the mother to two grown boys, Philip is a Senior Corporal with the Dallas Police Department and Ethan who works with my husband at EBT Bearings in Fort Worth. I also have two grandsons which are the light of this Lolly’s heart!
My wish for JAV is to take my skills to champion student learning, improve student health and decrease absenteeism. Being a positive role model and a team player are vital to me.
I am a Bible learner, lover of jigsaw puzzles, reading and all things furbaby.
