  1. We were sorry to hear of Edna’s passing. She was a neighbor and friend. She was a beautiful lady, always smiling. Our deepest condolences to her family. May God give each of you comfort during this time and days to come.

  2. I am so sorry for your loss. Edna was a precious friend of mine for many years. She was so down to earth and nice to everyone. I enjoyed her jolly, carefree personality. She said to me more than once that she “just wanted to be happy” (and she was). I will miss her phone calls asking “what are you doing”. She loved her family and talked about her granddaughter and great grandchildren often. I will miss her tremendously.
    Rest In peace dear sweet friend.

  3. Such a sweet woman. I will miss the fellowship with Ms. Edna on Sunday’s at West Asheville Baptist Church. She was a joy to see every Sunday when she would arrive at church usually early for the morning service. Always a pleasant attitude and loving smile. The Lord sure gained a good one when she passed. Can’t wait to see her again.

  5. Rest In Peace, Edna. Always the first to show up with a flower when mom would be in the hospital and you were so faithful to visit her often in recent months. You will be missed! You were a special friend with boundless compassion and style!
