Edna believed in the importance of kindness, forgiveness, and encouraging others to do what was right.

Family was always at the center of Edna's life, and there was nothing she was more proud of than her family. She treasured the time spent with those she loved and found happiness in the simple things in life. Whether she was spending time with family, reading her Bible, working puzzles, or enjoying coloring and stickers, Edna appreciated the little things that made life special. She especially enjoyed gospel music and the fellowship that came with attending church. Edna also made quilts and gifted them to Pastor Joe and Sandra Conn as well as Pastor Frank and Vella Goodman.

Those who knew Edna will remember her as a loving, caring, and forgiving woman who always tried to encourage others to do what was right. She had a heart for her family and a deep love for the Lord. Even through the health challenges she faced over the years, including her battle with cancer, Edna remained a woman whose faith and love for others were an important part of who she was.

Edna leaves behind a lifetime of memories that her family and friends will forever cherish. Her love, her faith, and the example she set will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her
