I was a Program Assistant in the nutrition Program,And Ede was the office Manager! Always so friendly and helpful very knowledgeable and professional! I’m so sorry for the loss just found out,! RIP Sweet lady ❤️🙏

To Edith Ann’s family my condolences. She loved you all deeply and was so proud of each of you. Ede was one of my favorite people. Anyone who met her could see right away what a beautiful soul she was. She was my moms (Marian) cousin and I can remember meeting her way back at a family reunion and always being excited to see her. She’d come to visit my mom and I loved her stories about her childhood. She had great stories about her “Momma and Daddy”and hilarious stories about Grandpa Zilch who was our common bond. I will miss her dearly. I know she’s having cousin’s dinner with all those who went before! 

There's a lot that I remember! She would read harry Potter to me tell I feel asleep, and would wake me up to hey buddy let's go! You know my grandmother always new what fishing met to me! She took me even though it was out of her way! She did, and now I'm 33 with kids of My own and there funny great grand kids of her own that she will never know! I wish I could talk to her one more time!! I'll never get that chance, neither will my kids, my dad, or my nieces! Thanks rick and troll

When I began working in the Nutrition Education Program office, Edith taught me the ropes. Edith knew everything! She was patient and very helpful. Her example of caring and dedication taught me well how to be a valuable employee, as I had never held a long-term position before. 

We worked together for many years, and also were in the same Cursillo group reunion for awhile. 

Edith’s love and caring for her family was beautiful to see, as life brought changes over the years. She was so proud of them! While I had not seen Edith in many years, I know her family must sorely miss her. May you all find peace in the memories of her love.


I was so heartbroken to hear of the passing of your wonderful mother.   She was such a sweet lady !  My thoughts are with you and the family at this time .

Condolences to the family and friends.  I have wonderful memories of her making the spaghetti dinner possible.  I was just looking at the st Christopher medal a few days ago.  The banana no nut bread she made me and the look she gave me when I said I didn't like nuts and how could she make banana nut bread without nuts. She laughed and said its banana bread. Her awesome poker face when Rick had 6 aces and she flipped over another wild card and she had 7. The room errupted! Still makes me smile. ❤🙏

I worked with Edith for several years at the U of I Extension office. She was a great co-worker and a wonderful person. She loved to talk about her grand children. I was amazed at how many salt & pepper shakers she had in her collection. She'll be greatly missed.


I worked with Edith until she retired! We had many laughs together that I will treasure! She LOVED her boys & grandchildren so much.  My condolences to all of the family!

We worked with Edith at the U of I extension. Edith and I went through crusio together. I will always miss her

I could not have asked for a better mother-in-law.  I would take a cup of coffee and go sit down with her and we would just talk about whatever came up. We both loved to watch "our birds" as they came and devoured the birdseed I would put out. We tried to put a species on each one with a book that I received for Christmas - it got rather comical at times.  She also loved to put together puzzles. So many puzzles. Ede got great joy from spending time with her great-granddaughter, Gabby - and Gabby loved spending time with Ede. One day last summer Gabby told "great grandma" she had something really cool to show her.........next thing I know, they are both halfway around the pond!! I rushed out of the door and went to them to find out what the heck they were doing and to bring Ede back to "solid ground".  She rode on our golf cart - and got a big kick out of that. She was such a good sport.  I will so miss her quiet ways and loving heart.  I am thankful to God that he allowed me to be with her for as long as I did and now she is home.....and she will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.      Love you Ede!!

Ede was very special to me, and my daughters. We became close in the last few years. She never tired of showing us her salt & pepper shaker collection and delighted when we noticed different ones each time we looked. We had fun working on puzzles together. The phelandendron she potted for me with starts from her own thrives in my kitchen and bears her name. I loved Ede like my own family, and will cherish the gifts she has given me. ❤️ Words just cannot express my sympathy. She will be missed greatly. Hugs Rick and Jacque. I love you. 

May the peace and comfort that only Our Lord, Jesus Christ can bring to family and friends. May God bring her home to His heaven with His Goodness and love.I knew her as she used to work alongside  my mother, Clara B. Gluck in the 1980's and 90's.
