Her contagious smile, quick humor, sharp tongue, healing hands, and huge heart were among the many traits that make her unforgettable.

Edna deeply cared for those she loved, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of everyone she encountered. Possessing an uncanny ability to peer into one's heart and soul, and offer exactly what was needed, without ever being asked.

Along with dedicating herself to the services of others, Edna also pursued passions that brought her joy.
