She will be remembered for her quick wit, intelligence and wicked sense of humour.
Edna is survived by daughters Darcy and Bridget (Connie), niece Nikki and nephew Shawn.
She was predeceased by her parents, sister Norma, nephew Cory, cousin Darlene, Lucy and Gretchen.
Mom was fiercely independent and lived life on her own terms, right to the end!
She will be missed

My heartfelt condolences and prayers Darcy and Bridget, for your tremendous loss. I grew up knowing Edna most of my life. My family lived 10 houses away from the Berry family in Willow Park for my whole childhood. Her Daughter Darcy is my oldest and Dearest friend and Edna was a second mother to me. I was at the Berry's home as much as my own. One of my fondest memories was going to their cabin in Gimil. Edna, I will truly miss your unique laugh. May you rest in peace. All my Love, Little Wendy - Posted by: Wendy Van Went (Friend) on: Oct 22, 2022

My condolences to the Berry family on the passing of your mother. I had a lot of inter-action with your mother at the Safeway head office on 313 Pacific Avenue. I worked in HR and she worked worked in the mail room. You might say we side stepped each other many times in the mail room. Edna was very friendly and had great sense of humour. I found her very helpful when I needed work to be done. Her fellow co-worker in the mail room Frank made them quite a combination. Thank you for your help and cooperation over the years. Rest in Peace, God Bless. - Posted by: colin dederick (co-worker) on: Oct 22, 2022
