She was the most loving mother, wife and grandmother as well as a dedicated member of Tabernacle United Methodist Church and valued her friends and community there.

Our prayers are with you all during this time. I have so many memories of Edith and Clarence. Camping on so many trips. They even came to New Orleans to visit us with mom and dad. Good times. She will be missed. Sending love, hugs and prayers.
I have known and loved Edith my whole life! She was always a wonderful lady and treated like I was one of her children that she loved so dearly! I am going to miss her glowing smile, big hugs, laughter and always telling me how much she loved me. I have always loved and admired her! I will miss her so. My heart felt love and condolences to Randy and Lisa and all of her extended family! Heaven Just Gained a New Angel to watch over all the family and friends she loved so dearly! Till we meet again Edith!
Love, Deb
So sorry. Prayers for family. When I was a kid, Edith and Clarence made my first beach trip possible as she invited my sister and me to join their family for a trip to Cherry Grove. What fun we had! I have enjoyed hearing about their RV travels with Robbins RV Club.
With my deepest sympathy and prayers to all the family. Your mom was a special lady to me. She was a great neighbor. I always enjoyed all her visits to our house and going to visit with her as well. She was always so good to my mom. She will be missed but she is with Jesus now .
Aunt Edith was my touchstone, early and throughout my life; loving, kind, generous and always greeting me with a glowing smile and hugs. Although my heart is heavy at her passing, I am buoyed by having experienced her unconditional love and affection and am grateful for her long, blessed life. I am truly thankful that she was a blessing to me. Bob and I send you all our prayers and condolences and pray that you will find peace and comfort surrounded by your loving family and friends. Love always
So sorry for your loss we were very blessed to have our moms be a positive role model and to have them as long as we did. May God bless all the family ,keep your memories close
