Edna was a believer in Jesus Christ and was a member of Christ the Rock Church. Her faith was the most important thing in her life. She was a true prayer warrior. She also had a servant’s heart and was always willing to help others. Edna and her husband joined SOWERs (Servants On Wheels Ever Ready) after his retirement to full time ministry. This is an organization where people take their RVs around the country and help with service projects at Christian schools or camps. She was also dedicated to sending cards and letters to anyone who needed encouragement.
In her free time, she enjoyed watching the hummingbirds or looking at the clouds. She also was a very patriotic lady and loved her country and the American flag. Edna will be dearly missed by her family and all those who love her.
The family will receive friends for a time of visitation at Brantley Funeral Home on Friday, April 19, 2024 from 12-2 pm with a funeral service to begin at 2:00 pm. Burial will follow at Memphis Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens on Germantown Rd. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in her honor.
