Edna was indeed a character. The absence of her charm and wit will feel empty with us. Our most recent visits with Edna will be the most cherished. The family oral history she relived with us will still live. But with the memory of her happiness as she shared them. We will miss one of our most noble cousins and honor her legacy.

Our cousin, Edna Turner, will be greatly missed. She was a fine Christian lady who never lost her wonderful sense of humor under any circumstances. She was certainly people-oriented and fortunately for her, all her occupations offered many great friendships. Edna got along with everyone she met and we never heard an unpleasant opinion of her. In addition to her wonderful parents and husband, she has wonderful brothers and sisters who will be happy to greet her upon her arrival in heaven. They will all be engaged in conversation and laughter for sometime. She will keep very busy for she is an outstanding worker and God will be happy to have Edna walk alongside him. We will miss you - God bless you.
