Edna Mae Esselment (nee Awde)
March 27, 1929 – June 1, 2022
After a life well lived, peacefully and graciously, Edna has left this world surrounded by her family. Reunited with her beloved husband Alton (Essie), parents Bert and Mae Awde, along with sister Marion and her husband Cliff Stark.
Edna was a dedicated and caring mother to Bob (Terry Lynn), Jack (Patsy), Karen (Terry), and Bill (Manon). Loving supporter of 8 grandchildren: Rob (Anna), Rick (Jane), Mike (Ashley), Kathy (Cart), Bryan (Pauline), Stacey (Ryan), Kyle (Chelsea), and Taylor (Devan). Special great-grandmother of 16: Jane, Heath, Bea, Ava, Bowen, Mya, Brystal, Dax, James, Austin, Lauryn, Jordan, Vivian, Nathan, Alton and Alice. She will be sadly missed but remembered with love, respect, and the fondest of memories by all who knew her. Edna enjoyed being around people, especially children and seniors, with her smile and laughter found at the ball park or in the arena watching youth games. A love of music, animals, cooking, writing poetry, needlework, and a knack for arts & crafts were all traits Edna possessed. Our mother was also known for her generosity, kind heart, quick wit and sharp sense of humour. She had a zest for life!
Family will honor her life with visitation at Hyde & Mott Chapel, R.H.B. Anderson Funeral Homes, 60 Main St. South Hagersville on Thursday June 9th from 4:00 – 8:00pm. A memorial service will be held in the Chapel on Friday June 10th at 11:00am. Cremation has taken place.
Expressions of sympathy to Whispering Hearts Horse Farm, Salvation Army, or a charity of your choice is appreciated.
Family is grateful for the incredible care Edna received in her final years by staff at Leisure Living Jarvis, West Haldimand General Hospital 3rd floor, and Grandview Lodge Bridgeview Unit.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Edna Esselment 2022..
