Edna worked faithfully at her husband’s side both inside and out for their entire lives. She enjoyed talking with family on the phone, playing solitaire and cards, watching game shows on TV and going to dinner date. Edna and Everett never had children of their own but Edna always had a warm hug and a kind ear for children who needed it. Their love for one another was evident in their caring interactions with each other. Edna was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Lake Park, Rebekahs Lodge, cemetery society, The Afternoon Club and the Chairman of the Lest Coin Fund, who donated funds to the missions. She passed away on March 7, 2006 at Lakes Regional Hospital in Spirit Lake at eighty-nine years of age.
