Edward J. O'Hara Obituary
We bid farewell to Edward J. O'Hara (Cranston, Rhode Island), whose journey of life gracefully concluded on August 11, 2025 at the age of 79. Edward touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Edward farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Edward is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
