Billy Faye Ward , of Helena West Helena, born November 23, 1960 passed away on Tuesday, April 9, 2024 after her period of illness. She was better known by those who loved her as Dardy. Dardy is a nickname bestowed on her as a newborn by her older sister Pat. When, then 11 month old, Pat heard relatives claim her new baby sister was "just darling" she tried to copy them, but it came out 'Dardy' and the name stuck.

Dardy couldn't stand to see another in need - be at person or animal.  She was a fiercely loyal, loving, and dedicate daughter, mother, sister, and friend.

She was proceeded in death by her father, Billy Edwards, mother, Faye Edwards, stepmother, Christine Edwards, brother Billy Edwards, Jr., sister, Jaye Summerhill, stepsisters, Monica Montgomery and Melissa Winters , stepbrother, Mike Winters, and granddaughter Faith McBride.

Dardy is survived by her sister Pat Ramsay (Bo) of Tulip, her daughters Carrie McBride (Steve) of Chandler, Arizona and Raechel Nearns (Bobby) of Helena West Helena, grandchildren George Howard, Colin McBride, Makaighla Howard, Connor McBride, Raechel Howard, Charle Howard, and CJ Garza.

She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews and friends and by David Moneymaker her long time companion, fishing buddy, and she would say soul mate.
