Edith was born on April 23, 1914, in Faulkner, MB. She married Andrew in 1932 in Whitemouth and ultimately resided in Whitemouth where they farmed.

The family would like to thank all the staff at the Deer Lodge Centre, 4 West, for the loving care and kindness that Mom received for the past year and a half.
