Edna was born in the 1-6 area. As a young woman, she went to Success Business College and worked in the Land Titles Office until she married Cecil Reichert of Thornhill, MB. They worked hard to build their farm up when Cecil passed away at the age of 46. Edna continued on with farm life and had a variety of animals that she enjoyed nurturing. Along with Edna's many interests, she was also an avid gardener who took pride in her surroundings. Mom felt a very close relationship with the Lord and read her Bible daily. Her family loved her wonderful cooking and delicious baking. She was also a great seamstress. She obtained her LPN Nursing certificate and nursed for many years. In 1993, Edna moved to Morden. Left to cherish her memory are her three children, Jim (Maria), Wayne (Barb) and Cecile (Rick), three grandchildren, Chrissy, Julie (Jamie) and Aura-Lee (Marc), and two great-grandchildren, Neko and Oscar, as well as her sisters, Isabel Reichert, Marjorie Brunn and Evelyn Alwin. She was predeceased by her husband, Cecil Reichert in 1963. Viewing will be from 1:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday at Wiebe Funeral Chapel, 1050 Thornhill St. in Morden and prior to the service.
