Many times we heard "Your mom is one-of-a-kind" and That she was. She was loyal to a fault and always put family and friends first and she came last. We will always remember her sense of humor and her many expressions that always made us laugh. She has helped us all through some rough times and was always there to listen but never gave advice unless asked for. Those who knew Edna knew her by her strong spirit and orneriness, which she exhibited until she was called to heaven. There is going to be a big empty spot in our family that cannot be filled but some part of her will always be with each one of us. We will see her smile, her sense of humor or loyalty in her grandchildren and great grandchildren and we will know that she is with us.
Survivors include her two daughters Jackie (Charles) Augustein, Connie (Howard) Rhoads both of Sebring; four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild. Besides her parents she was preceded in death by her husband William "Bill" on January 6, 1989, and two sisters, Mary Yoder and Anabel Herold.
