MARY EDNA HODGSON
Edna lived and loved life and so it is with deep sadness that we announce her passing on June 6th, 1998 at the family home on the farm (l6-5-23) where she and Bob resided for 58 years.
The first and foremost passion in life was her family. Cherishing her memory and mourning her loss are her husband Bob, daughter Margaret (Don) Fisher, daughter Vicky and son-in-law Ken Lewis, grandchildren (the light of her life) Laurie and Ryan Fisher, Andrew and Ashley Lewis, sisters-in-law Rowena Stroud and Ruth Norton, brothers-in-law Harold Hodgson, Victor Hodgson and his wife Phyllis, the Anderson and Hodgson nieces, nephews and cousins and life-long friends Margaret Scharf, Wilma Day and Ruth Turnbull.
Edna was born at Wakopa January 30,1910 to parents William and Frances Anderson. She was predeceased by an infant brother Edward, brother John and brother Frank and his wife Thelma (Toots). Edna attended Long River School, Killarney High School for grade 12, and Winnipeg Normal School to obtain her teaching certificate. This launched her into a career spanning 33 years, which included 5 years at West Lake, 1 year at Margaret, 25 years at Dand and 2 years at Deloraine. It is a gift from God when someone is allowed to pursue a career which is not just a job, but rather a passion. Edna truly did love to teach and her pupils loved her - Miss Anderson, Mrs. Hodgson, Aunt Edna and Mom - as she was known to her students over the years.
At an early age Edna began playing the piano and took only a few lessons, as it was discovered she could play "by ear". This was a gift she generously shared with all. Her love of music made many community and family gatherings happy and fun filled events. In addition she played with the Riddell Orchestra for 19 years and the Playmates for 6 years. She and Bob spent many evenings travelling to surrounding towns where Edna would play for a dance. As a result of these dances, Edna and Bob made many life-long friendships.
Family, teaching school, and playing the piano fulfilled and balanced a quality of life that gave Edna great happiness. Her sense of humour, optimistic nature combined with a commitment to do the right thing, gained her the love and respect of all who knew her.
A celebration of Edna's life was held at Dand United Church on June 9th with Rev. Beth McLean officiating. Internment at Hartney Cemetery was followed by a time of fellowship for family and friends at Hartney Centennial Centre.
