Edna was a gentle, kind, caring beautiful woman who we had the utmost respect for. She always greeted us with her beautiful smile and warm hand shake and hug. She will be missed by so many, her family and friends and one close friend especially more so, her dear life long friend Mary Cowley. Our sincere sympathy go out to all her family and friends! Rest in Peace Edna! - Posted by: Bonnie Whiteway and William Young (Friends) on: Jan 18, 2017
