We are so sorry we missed this service. We did not realize that she had passed until after the service. If I would have known i would have passed information on to them. She was a special lady. I remember her in the neighborhood growing up. The family will truly miss this special lady. Again so sorry we missed her service.

Edna was a truly remarkable person. She treated me like family from the moment I met her. Always warm, friendly, and welcoming. She was good at eliciting my feelings about different topics without my knowledge. She had a gentle way about her but she wasn’t hesitant to express her opinions when that was necessary. From her experiences she shared with me, I could see she was in tune with the rhythms of the farm from planting and harvesting crops, milking cows, butchering and processing cattle, pigs, and chickens, making maple syrup, picking and processing the various fruit trues on the farm, and hunting morel mushrooms and hickory nuts. There were so many stories she shared. She wanted to go to school to become a teacher but that opportunity didn’t present itself. She certainly taught me and others the importance of God and His grace in everything she did. I will miss our visits and all the problems in the world we discussed and tried to solve. I will carry her memory and spirit in my heart forever.

To my family’s life long neighbors… I didn’t know your mom had passed until tonight. I am very sorry as I would have been at the service. She was truly one of my mom’s best friends. They and a good cup of coffee and interesting conversation went hand in hand all the years I was growing up. I will forever remember and respect your mom. Her, mom and Betty Clayton are all able to make it back together once again. Living to 100 was quite an accomplishment all in itself and what a talented and hard working person your mom always was. Again I’m sorry for your loss and that I truly didn’t realize it in time to come and show my family’s respect to yours. 🕊❤️
