Edna loved to play bingo, dance to old time music, and spend time with her grandchildren, watching them play hockey or baseball, or just being around the kids. She was a wonderful seamstress and sewed many beautiful quilts for her family. She was predeceased by her husband, Dave Burdett (Bev's dad); her parents: Bert and Gwen Knight; her older children's father, Risdon Pool; brothers: Pat, Ronnie, George, Dennis, and Kelly; and her sisters: Betty, Ruth, and Patsy.
