So sorry to hear of Edna Mae's passing. She was always a sweetheart. My heart goes out to all the family. She always treated me like one of her own. I know uncle Glen and aunt Jean are enjoying her company once again. God bless and prayers to all the family.
Worked many years with this dear sweet lady. And yes she loved animals and loved her sons so very much I know she is in Heaven with Dallas

The world lost one of the most amazing people on Saturday. My gramma, my Baba, my champion, my idol really. She was 4’11 of fiery red-headed passion. She was never afraid to tell someone how “the cows ate the cabbage”. She had the biggest heart and she fiercely adored all her grands. She was so excited to welcome her newest Grand—little Samuel Levi. To say she will be missed is the understatement of the century. Family. Love. Truth. Morals. Toughness. Edna Mae, you were one phenomenal lady.
Edna Mae, you were one of my best friends and Resturant work-mates in the 1950s. Work, double dates, fun and we kept in touch for all these years. Hated to hear you've gone. See you later.
So sorry for your loss. We really enjoyed having her for a neighbor. She is missed. Sending prayers.
Sorry for your loss, Edna was a fun loving lady and we always enjoyed talking with her. Prayers of comfort for all the family and friends.
