Edna was my friend, sister of my heart, my person, and allowed me the privilege of being part of her life with Ryan. He was my other grandson and I was his Nonna. We were a part of each other's families.  We worked in church for the children's ministry.  We loved each other and working in the ministries at Smith Grove Baptist Church.  Shoulder to shoulder through the good and the bad. She will remain in my heart until we meet again. Edna was the best of the best. Sweetest spirit and loved the Lord Jesus and served him faithfully. Heaven is better with a Saint like Edna present to worship, and sing praises to Our Creator and Sustainer of our souls. Until we meet again my sister. With all my love

Dear Styles family,

I loved Edna, she was such a beautiful person that shined Jesus's light wherever she went. She was passionate about the children she taught and most importantly about the Lord. I learned so much by living with her for 1 1/2 years, and it's true, she was the same person at home as in the work place.  Edna showed me by her life what it would be like to know Mother Teresa in person. Her humility and love for Jesus made such an impact on my life.  I pray for God's peace to reign in your hearts with all comfort at this time. 

Our condolence to the Styles Family.  We met them in 1979 and have loved them since.

Dear Styles family,

Please accept our heartfelt condolences concerning the passing away of Edna.  The loss of a family member is a most tender matter.

We treasured our dear cousin.  Her kind and noble soul touched many lives in a remarkable way.   Edna will be greatly missed by many people.

She is now in the Lord's eternally loving arms. She is not suffering any longer from the infirmities that she endured for so long.

May the abiding love, incomprehensible peace, and comforting solace of God sustain you and your family as you walk the path of bereavement.

Sincerely,

Clyde and Amélia Triptow

Such a beautiful soul, I am gonna miss you Edna but I know you are with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  And if ever anyone heard these words from him "well done my child" it is you.  So many of us saw Jesus thru you always. We are gonna miss you, our church, your family and countless friends.  " To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Your race is finished and you are  in the arms that created you.  ❤️❤️❤️

Edna as I know Jesus met you with arms wide open...the Jesus you showed every day blessed so many people...will always love and miss you
