Born on May 22, 1925, Edith’s loving spirit and generous heart could be felt by anyone she met. She always made a point of connecting with those around her.

She considered many friends family, especially members of the Eastern Star; an organization she lived for and belonged to for over 70 years. Edith loved to travel and was always one for adventure. She travelled to many places around the world and always cherished the experiences through sharing photos and telling stories with others.
Edith adored her family and always made efforts to gather, give thanks, and be present in the gifts of laughter and love. Edith was a wonderful Grandmother and always made sure she spent quality time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
As a teacher, Edith was well respected in the community and loved her students immensely. Her students remember her fondly. She focused on teaching academics, but also life skills and core values that she believed would help her students thrive their entire lives. She always focused on how she could help and support others. She was an example to so many, and a shining light to all who knew her.
