Edith was a Christian and a long time member of the Livingston Church of Christ. She enjoyed traveling (at the drop of a hat), playing games, needlework, gardening and reading, but most of all she enjoyed being surrounded by her extended and extensive family. She was known as a sassy, smart and lovely lady.

Her children and descendants say they will remember her for her contributions to the world of love, loyalty, friendship, humor and closeness. They say she knew the three greatest gifts she could bestow on her family were those of faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love (1 Cor. 13:13). She was known as someone who instilled life values and everlasting memories, whose legacy and love will carry on as her descendants live and personify these important life lessons.
