Theodore A. Searles

Theodore A. Searles (Teddy, Ted) of Coles Hill Road passed away at his home peacefully with family by his side. 

Born October 8, 1941 to Theodore W. and Natalie Perkins-Searles.  His mother was in the hospital giving birth to him while his soon-to-be dad and brothers were moving them into the home that his dad and mom had just bought.  Ted was a lifetime resident of Coles Hill Road in Wells Branch for 81 years.  Ted was a hardworking man at many different jobs and trades. He had to be doing something all the time, fixing vehicles, plumbing, working on tractors, lawn mowers and pretty much anything he could find to do.  

He enjoyed woodworking, hunting, and fishing.  Sometimes just hanging out in his garage kicking back a few. 

His favorite place was his camp up Maine.  He would spend weeks in the summer and then back in the fall for hunting.  He loved being outside; cooking especially.  So many projects for him to do there.  Dad, you and Bert will forever live there in spirit. 

Ted is predeceased by his parents, his wife Roberta and his daughter Kristina.  

Ted is survived by his brother Joe Searles and his wife Linda of Wells; daughter Lori and husband David Edgerly of Wells.  2 grandsons Benjamin Edgerly of Sanford and Averey DeVoe of Florida; great-granddaughter Kristin Edgerly of South Carolina; niece Dawn Downer and nephew Dale Searles and their families; stepson Rick Wentworth and his family. 

There are not enough words and thank yous for all that dad's girlfriend Daryiln Davis has done these past months.  Putting her life on hold, she has been right by his side until the end.  You are such an angel to us.  Thank you for everything. 

A celebration of Ted's life will be held at his home on Coles Hill Road, April 1, 2023 at 1pm.  Bring your stories and we will share a cheer.
