Edna (Schreckengost) Warner

Edna G. Warner, a beacon of love and strength, passed away peacefully on July 1, 2024, at her home in Alliance, Ohio. Born on February 24, 1954, in Salem, Ohio, the daughter of William Schreckengost and Ruth (Burns) Schreckengost. On September 8, 1979, she united in marriage with her beloved husband, William Warner, and together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and enduring memories.

Edna's life was a testament to her role as a loving mother and grandmother. She is survived by her devoted husband, William; her daughter, Brandi Pasco and her partner Dennis Risden Jr. of Alliance, her son, Anthony D. Gillman of Alliance , daughter Heather R. Gates of South Carolina; her eight grandchildren, Tyler (Alie) Warner, Kari Pasco, Brennan Lovell, Adrian Gillman, Sammy Swiney, Spencer Swiney, Danielle Gillman, and Ashley Gillman; and her three great-grandchildren, Davin Gillman, Kaiden Grimm, and Ahleyah Grimm. Edna's family was the epicenter of her world, and she cherished every moment she spent with her loved ones.

She also leaves behind her brother, Robert (Carol) Schreckengost; her brother, Ronnie (Julie) Schreckengost; her sister, Pamela Steed; and her sister, Sandy Rupp. Edna was preceded in death by her parents, her son Dennis Gillman II, and her brothers-in-law Roger Steed and Sam Rupp. Each family member held a special place in her heart, and her guidance and affection will be deeply missed.

Edna was a former employee of Royal China and later devoted 13 years of service to the Longaberger Basket Company. Beyond her work, Edna had several interests that reflected her curious and engaging nature. She found solace in the tranquility of gardening, the immersive worlds within the pages of a good book, and the challenge of a complex puzzle. Edna also had a keen interest in following current politics, staying informed, and understanding the world around her.

However, above all, Edna's most profound passion was her family, particularly her grandchildren. She invested her time, energy, and love into nurturing and celebrating each of their achievements. Edna's spirit endures in the lives of those she touched. Her memory will be cherished, her stories retold with fondness, and her presence deeply missed. Edna G. Warner lived a life well-loved, and she leaves behind a trail of beauty that will never fade.
