She was a daughter of the late Joseph and the late Marie (Poirier) Roach. Marie Edna was an active member of St. Peter’s Church and was a dedicated member of the choir. This kind lady was always so giving in her daily life, having cared for, a long time, her parents and an elderly aunt. One was always made to feel so welcome at her home. Marie Edna’s passion in life was excellent rug hooking and that was a big part of her life up to the age of 93.
