Our deepest condolences to Jim & Dorit, Bill & Sharon, Olive & Harris and their families. Edith was a beautiful, kind-hearted person, and will surely be missed by everyone who knew her. We were fortunate to have a wonderful visit and conversation with Edith while she was in the hospital leaving us with a lovely memory. May Edith rest in peace.

I had lovely chats with Edith at Eden United Church. She was a special lady. She was a good friend of my Mum, Peggy Turner who lived in the same building across from the church until she passed away and Mum loved her Tim Hortons coffee with Edith and Betty.
Rest In Peace dear lady❤️
To Harris & Olive, Jim & Dorit, Bill & Sharon & all the grands & greats,
From our family to yours, our sincerest sympathy. Edith & Mack were our dear neighbours in Holland Landing. I knew to only call Edith in the afternoons between All My Children & the Young & Restless. I will miss our conversations which mainly were about you all. She loved you so!
