She had travelling adventures and daily conversati­ons with daughters Sue and Connie who provided tireless support to enable her to stay in her home as long as she did. She continued those travel adventures with Bruce. Her home was the family hub, always welcoming, where Edna fed us all with a skill that looked effortless and tasted so wonderful.
