A local real estate professional who served community theater both on and off stage has died.
Gwynneth Edwards, 48, passed away Sunday at St. Joseph Regional Health Center. Her career included work in television, movies and radio, and she was involved locally with the Theatre Company.
“ Gwynne was really effervescent and excited about everything she was involved in,” said Randy Wilson, artistic director of the Theatre Company. “She was a delight to be around. She was always upbeat and kept the company together.”
Born June 30, 1956, in Pinner, England, Edwards had worked as a property manager for McCrory Investments in Bryan and College Station since 1988. Her responsibilities included storage units, a car wash and home and apartment rentals. She used her contacts to help the Theatre Company when it moved from downtown Bryan to Manor East Mall (now the Tejas Center).
“ She was on our board, and she did a lot to get the new facility usable,” Wilson said. “She had friends help with the air-conditioning and plumbing, and she paid for a lot of it.”
Edwards’ stage credits included Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet for the Theatre Company.
“ She taught the actors how to fence,” Wilson said. “And she also painted the sets.”
While in England, Edwards worked in the Drama Script Unit for BBC Television and on the Dr. Who television program.
Edwards was a member of the Screen Actors Guild and served as a double for Sissy Spacek in Marie: A True Story (1985) and as a stand-in for Cheryl Ladd in The Fulfillment of Mary Gray (1988).
From 1988 to 1993, Edwards was commercial program director and an on-air personality at KTSR radio and co-hosted a morning radio show with Randy Davis.
Edwards is survived by her parents, Anna and Thomas Macauley of Hillingdon, England, and her former husband, Patrick Howe Edwards of College Station. She was a member of Alexander United Methodist Church in Tabor.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Friday at Alexander United Methodist Church with the Rev. Donald Fields officiating. Burial will be in Alexander Cemetery.
