He worked in mills in Firth Street and Holmbridge before switching to engineering.
He worked at Brook Motors, Hopkinsons and David Brown Gears, staying at the latter firm for 34 years.
Mrs Edwards, 70, attended Beaumont Street School and Rawthorpe Senior School before starting work as a worsted mender in Bradley Mills.
The couple were married at St Andrew’s Church in Leeds Road and went on to have two daughters and three grandchildren.
