Edna served in many callings in her church, loving each one of them in a special way. Family was her greatest joy in life. Loved all the sleepovers with her grandchildren, they had lots of fun together. She enjoyed many outings in the mountains with her family when her husband Jim was alive. Mom enjoyed keeping busy helping others, loved to read, loved watching the Utah Jazz and enjoyed going to grandkids ball games, enjoyed working in her yard planting her many flowers. Mother had such a sweet personality, never complaining. Any gift she received she thought it was “beautiful” and greatly appreciated it. She always had to walk us out the door or stand at the door waving as we drove away. Always having to get the last good-bye.
