Edna was born and raised in Paintsville KY where she graduated from Oil Springs HS. After attending a vocational school for business administration she moved to Dayton OH and began working at WPAFB where she retired 32 years later.
Edna loved to fish at Lake Erie with family and friends while also raising a plentiful garden for canning and sharing. When not fishing and tending her garden she pieced together the most beautiful quilt tops by hand.
Her heart was so full of love for her family and friends, but it was finally just too tired to go on. Her love will never cease as she is now with the love of her eternal life, Jesus.
