She loved sports and was an avid softball player in her youth. Her love of the game continued into her retirement where she was a scorekeeper for women's softball in Moose Jaw. She enjoyed watching sports in person and on television, and encouraged her children and grandchildren in all their sporting endeavors. Family was very important to Edna. She worked hard to assist her younger siblings and her children to further their education, as well as working her own way through high school and teacher training. Her love of family is also evident in the amount of research she compiled about her own genealogy, and the effort and care she took with this project. In the latter years of her life, Edna faced many health problems, including diabetes and a heart condition. She dealt with them the way she dealt with everything in her life, with fierce determination. The last few months were especially difficult following several strokes, and she slipped away quietly in the early morning hours with her husband and a daughter by her side. She was much loved, and will be sadly missed. The Funeral Service will be held on Friday, January 23, 2004 at 1:30PM at W. J. Jones and Son Chapel, 106 Athabasca St. E., Moose Jaw.
