The two great loves of Edith's life were God and her family. She overflowed with joy when she served the Lord. Whether it was singing hymns, listening to a sermon, giving a hug, visiting a nursing home patient or working in the kitchen, she always looked beautiful and had a kind word. Her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the center of her world, and she made each one feel very special. She spent much time keeping in touch with her brothers and sister, all of whom she loved dearly. She leaves her family with the priceless blessing of having learned life's lessons from one of God's most special angels.
