Edwina was a proud graduate of the 1940 class of Crispus Attucks High School. Edwina's love of music opened a door for a college scholarship, however as a young woman, she married Harold I. Harris who preceded her in death. Together they birthed all six of her beautiful children.

Edwina was kindhearted and always admired for her classic elegant style and loving devotion to her family, friends and church. She was a long standing member of Christ Temple, in her later years she resided under the ministry of Bishop Byron Johnson at Christ Church.
