Edna was a homemaker and helped her husband on the farm. She loved the outdoors and in later years especially enjoyed taking rides down the lanes to view the progress of the crops in the fields. Her favorite pastime activities were watching birds on the lawn and in the woods at her home and putting puzzles together. Her family will always remember her for her great inner strength, faith, and calmness with which she met the various problems that she had to deal with. She will also be remembered as a loving mother and grandmother where family came first.
