Edna grew up in Stigler, Oklahoma where she enjoyed family life on the farm, playing basketball, long walks in the beautiful countryside and reading. She and her future husband, David met at the age of five at a church picnic. They were married in 1932, and had three children before moving to Wasco, California, in the early 1940s, where the last three children were born. After moving to Shafter in 1960, David and Edna were active in local politics and the PTA. Edna volunteered for many school projects over the years. Both David and Edna were avid gardeners, and Edna worked at Germain's Rose Farm for several years helping to develop new rose varieties. She worked as an Avon representative for twenty-five years, much of that time as a regional assistant-manager. She helped many new recruits develop their Avon business. Edna was a very genuine and kind person, and never met a stranger. She was extremely loving and caring and over the years provided loving support not only to her family and friends, but to many members of the Shafter community in times of need. Following the death of her beloved husband, David in 1992, Edna moved to Walnut Creek, CA to be nearer to her children.
