Edna Eleanor Hirsch

Edna Hirsch, 96, Beverly Hills, FL, passed away peacefully on June 27, 2023. Edna was a librarian for many elementary schools as well as Aetna Insurance Company. She loved her work so much that she didn’t retire until she was 90 years old!

She was preceded in death by her husband Irwin (Joe) Hirsch. She is survived by her four children, Mark Hirsch, Leah Briggs, Michelle Hirsch Solis, Laura Leach, six grandchildren, Kristin Briggs, Eric Briggs, Jessica Ferguson, Gabriel Hirsch, Jenna Hirsch, Quinlan Leach, and six great grandchildren, who will all miss her dearly.

In her free time over the years, she enjoyed shelling on Sanibel Island, being with her family, doing needlepoint, cross stitch, and puzzles, eating m&m’s and her nightly bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream! She had a quick wit and a great sense of humor. She loved to laugh. 

Gathering for family and friends will be held on Friday, June 30 from 10:30 to 12:30 in the Library at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Funeral Home, 400 Woodlawn Cemetery Road, Gotha.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association at https://act.alz.org or Vitas at https://vitascommunityconnection.org
