Edith was a sweet person! She helped me choose material for my grade 8 grad dress and helped me at Tudors with all my sewing ideas! Always with a smile and always willingly to go the extra mile! I always loved her stone home! And now have one I call home! She touched many! My sympathy to all! Betty Versteegh (Hodgins)

Larry, Judy and family; I am saddened to hear of Edith’s passing. I visited with Edith and Joe weekly when my folks owned Edgewood and continued a few visits years later. Edith was a wonderful lady and I have only fond memories of the time I spent with her and Joe. May you find comfort in the memories of a wonderful life of a warm, loving woman.
