Formerly of Cambridge, MA,passed

away peacefully on August6,2019 sur-

roundedby family at homein Concord,

MA.Lois Stiles Edgerly wasbornon

April 29,1929,inSudbury, Massachu-

setts, in thehomeofher parents,Leon-

ard D. andObeline (Cadieux) Stiles. As

ayoung girl, Lois was atomboyand a

good hitterinbaseball.“Youhad her

lasttime, we want Stiles on ourteam,”

the boys would say. During World War

II, whenshe was ayoungteen, Lois

learnedthe difference betweenbomb-

ersand fighterplanesinorder to report

on allflights she observedfromalook-

out tower on GoodmanHill in Sudbury.

She rode herbiketothe tower, which

was tall enoughto offerviews above

the tree line. “LuckilyIdidn’thaveto

ever seeaGerman plane,”she recalled

in “How IWon theWar,” achapterin

an oral historyrecordedfor herfamily.

During thewar,her school’s principal,

Al Flynn,would releasestudentsto

help at harvest time on localfarms,

includingone owned by Lois’suncle,

Harvey Fairbanks. They received

centsabushel for potatoes at atime

whentherewereno men of militaryage

left in Sudbury to do farmwork. “Every

now and thenwe’dget bored and

throw potatoes at each other,” Lois said.

“Uncle Harvey would comeout into the

field to chewusout,and we’d soonset-

tledown.”Lois graduated from Sudbury

High School in 1947. Herplanneddate

forthe prom,aBritish doctor,had to

cancel duetohis residency scheduleat

Mass GeneralHospital.When William

S. Edgerly, whosefamily had movedto

SudburyfromSyracuse, NY in 1937,

heard Lois didn’thaveadate to her

prom, he moved fast.“So that was a

hingeoffate,”Willrecalled in hisNine

Decades memoir.“We were dancing

on airthe wholenight,and everybody

was just allsmiles. It was an incredibly

memorableevening.” That fall Lois en-

rolledatLesley CollegeinCambridge,

MA,whereshe studiedteaching.On

June 12,1948, sheand Will were

married at the First Parish Unitarian

ChurchinSudbury.The following year

they movedto Rochester,New York,

where Will had been hired to work at

Kodak.Lois wasanaccomplishedoil

painter and wrote twobooks.Tillbury

House published “GiveHerThis Day: A

DaybookofWomen’sWords”in 1990,

followedfour years laterbyWomen’s

Words, “Women’s Stories:An American

Daybook.” Hertomboydays far behind

NazisorJack Nicholson in it.She had

magicalwaywithplants, including a

cactus shebought in1950and kept

alive through variousshootsthe rest

of herlife. She designedandoversaw
