Edna was a loving, caring, devoted Mother to her family. Edna experienced an abundance of things in her life of almost 101 years and could really tell some interesting stories of her life and past history. Edna had the best sense of humor ever! She was a cheerleader in school at Trafalgar, a wonderful cook and always made our family holidays special. She loved to crochet and tend to her beautiful flowers and was a wonderful seamstress. She worked at Allison’s, Camp Atterbury and RCA during WWII, Red Gold Products and Roselyn Bakery and Scherer’s Drug Store in Trafalgar. Edna served as Board Member and Secretary at Franklin Wesleyan Church and a member of the Johnson County Choral Club. Edna will be missed by all of us and will live forever in our hearts.
Special thanks to Senior Helpers and Heritage Hospice for all the professional, caring and loving services they provided for Edna. Her eyes lit up and she had a big smile when they visited.
Visitation for family and friends will be at Forest Lawn Funeral Home in Greenwood IN on December 13th from 10am to 11am. Service at 11am. Entombment at noon at Forest Lawn Memory Garden, Ben Franklin.
