EDNA G. ROBINSON (nee SUTTON) 1916 - 2005 On Sunday April 17, 2005 our beloved sister and aunt passed peacefully to her eternal rest. Born to Alice and Fred Sutton in Roland, MB, Edna enjoyed her formative years on the family farm. Still as a young woman, she met her lifelong companion, Melvin, whom she married and moved to Winnipeg. Edna worked with devotion for over 25 years in the candy department of the T. Eaton's downtown store. Needless to say there was always candy in her house when you visited, as well as good home cooking. She and Mel were members of the Eagles Lodge in Winnipeg with which she remained in contact for several years after Mel's death. She was predeceased by her husband, Melvin in 1996, brother Ken and sisters, Eva, Hazel, Florence, also Lenore and Raymond (in childhood). Her memory will be forever cherished by her sister, Hilda (Norman) Langston, her brothers, Wilmot (Velma) and Norman (Loretta) and by all her nieces and nephews and in-laws. The family wishes to acknowledge the help and compassion Edna received from her niece, Diane (Cecil) Sereda, and nephew, Fred (Maureen) Sutton. A sincere thank you to Dr. J.G. Sutherland, staff at the Waverly/Rosewood and others who have provided for her care in the past. May God bless all of you. A celebration of her life will be held at the Glen Eden Funeral Home on Wednesday, April 20 at 2:00 p.m. with burial at the Glen Eden Memorial Gardens. Viewing will take place one hour prior. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Edna's memory to a charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to: GLEN EDEN FUNERAL HOME 4477 Main Street 338-7111 Friends and family are invited to sign the Book of Condolences at www.gleneden-mb.ca
