Her commitment and work ethic were an example to her family and those she came in contact with.
Traveling with her husband was something that Edna enjoyed very much. Although there were numerous destinations, Hawaii was one of their favorites, and they went as often as they could. Over the years, there were numerous hobbies and interests to keep Edna busy. A few of these included reading, crocheting, oil painting, and daily crosswords. At the top of the list along with traveling with Dick, came the time she spent with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she loved and cherished.
