To the family. I used to work with Edith at the van buren county hospital and nursing home at Clinton. We worked in housekeeping. She was a good woman. We actually went to a VFW club one night cause we liked the music. After I married and moved away - I saw her again once. She was a good person and a good co worker. So sorry for your loss.

My heart goes out to all of you for the loss of your mother. Edith the time I knew her was short but she had a very sweet spirit. She laughed at me because I didn't know how to cook much less make chocolate gravy. I was 18 then she was happy to teach me. She was a great home maker I know she loved her family. I'm grateful I knew her. My condolences to all of you for her passing, but absent from the body present with the Lord. She's probably teaching someone how to make that chocolate gravy while praising our Lord Jesus.

I’m so sorry to hear of Aunt Edith’s passing. I loved visiting her house when I was a kid. She always welcomed us with open arms. I’m sending my love to all of the friends and family that loved her.

Aunt Edith was such a great aunt and person. For years we got to spend the summer with grandpa and grandma which means we got to see all our relatives. Aunt Edith was so easy going and seemed to really enjoy the time we got to spend together. I know she will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.
Rest well Aunt Edith.
